You don’t always need sewing machinery or a lot of fabric to start this business. There are so many cute home-based businesses that start with a simple, well-crafted item that makes good use of small bits of fabric. With a well-curated product and a commitment to quality, even scraps of leftover fabric can make for a reliable income. Practical, cleanly made products that fit into everyday life and make it their own are what customers want today. Quick-turn items are generally small, quick to make, and easy to store products for both in-person and online sales. Simple, well-designed products progress a sewing project organically, allowing for creative flow, regular commissions and an ecological approach to growth with no waste.
