Sewing Jobs From Home
By Natasha of Adsenselover.com
If you have a sewing machine and some basic sewing supplies, you can create sewing
jobs from home. Many people do not have time or the knowledge to mend their torn clothing.
Oftentimes these otherwise perfect clothes end up in the trash or donated. People are throwing
away their money buying new clothes, when all they need to do is have them mended. By offering a
mending service, you can save people a lot of money.
Many people do not want to take their clothes to a dry cleaner or tailoring business because
they feel like they'll be overcharged. Who wants to pay 10 dollars to have a t-shirt mended? By
offering a basic mending service at a cheap rate, you will entice customers to bring you their
basic mending. You will make money and the customers will save money.
A good place to start is to make a flyer. This can be made simply and cheaply with a word
processing program like Microsoft word. List what you are will to mend (t-shirts, dress shirts,
missing buttons, torn seams on pants, etc.) and what it costs to fix them. For instance, you
could charge five dollars to fix a t-shirt, eight dollars to patch jeans, and one dollar per
missing button.
Make many copies and put them on numerous community boards. These community boards can be found
in grocery stores, libraries, and many times at your local City Hall. Make tear offs at the
bottom of the flyers with your name, phone number, and a phrase like "cheap mending." Sometimes
people tear these off, but forget what they were for. By putting "cheap mending" or "inexpensive
mending" on your tear off, you're guaranteed that no one will forget.
Another good idea would be to include pick-up and drop-off service, but this is up to you. It
may get you more clients, but it will take away time from your mending work (Don't mend and
drive.) and will take you away from home, which is why you're starting one of the many jobs
from home in the first place.
If you're really good with a sewing machine and have many different types of sewing supplies,
then you can go one step further and offer tailoring services. Tailors do more than just
mending. Tailors will take-in or let-out clothing, otherwise known as altering, and some even
make clothing. Sometimes tailors include dressmakers. This is another skill you can add to your
mending at home business, or you can have it as a main at home business. There are many types
of sewing jobs from home.
You will need an area where you can do all of your work if you run an at-home tailor business.
Tailors have a lot of equipment and need a lot of space. Also, if a client needs to try on a
dress to get it sized for altering, it would be nice if you could offer that client a little
bit of privacy instead of fitting him or her in your living room while your family watches the
television.
