Start Your Own Sewing Business
All of us dream of a career where we are our own bosses, we dream of a career where we are free to pursue our interest and garner an income because of it. This is a dream but it can easily be translated into a reality.
For those who are interested in fashion and are creatively inclined there are no limits to which they can pursue this art. If they add the technical know-how of sewing to their repertoire, there is no doubt that they can open their own sewing business.
Tips to start your own sewing business:
• Firstly you should have self confidence and the ability to create designs and convert them into outfits at a good speed. Time management is of crucial importance in this business
• You should follow the fashion trends even if you do not advocate it. New fashion always gives rise to newer ideas.
• You should be able to utilise all the tools at your disposal for effective and fast conversion of designs to outfits.
• There are various tools to make your work easier for you. The designers curve will help you to design sleeves etc. While the tailors curve will help to design the pant seams and legs etc. The simflex sewing gauge helps in correctly calculating the measurements.
• There are sewing kits and systems available in the market and you can even order it online.
Ideas for own sewing business:
• You can be a seamstress and can also do freelance projects. Many big fashion houses outsource their work from time to time. Even weddings and other functions require a sewing professional. You can always market yourself by creating brochures and fliers to get projects.
• You can sell your creations online. There are a variety of websites nowadays that help in selling goods online. All you have to do is research market rates and then post your creations on these sites. You have to advertise it properly but there is no reason why a good design would not be snapped up.
• You can also focus on lifestyle decor items that are a huge market right now. You can fashion pillowcases, throws and rugs that are stylish yet functional. These items have a huge market and many prospective buyers.
Sewing pattern is a very useful art and with the help of the sewing pattern supplies it is easy too. You only need to have to have the drive to pitch you forward to develop a self business. This art has a very wide market and there is space for all. There is no reason why a creative mind aided with the right tools and ideas cannot find a space of their own in this market.

where do i start? don't i got down then back stich or something
gahhhh
HELP
I am assuming you mean putting elastic in the waist???
You have the right idea, but first press your fabric down the
1/4:, then fold down the width of your elastic (if using 3/4'
fold down 1:) and press again. Then stitch your first line
of stitching just under the top fold, go all the way around the
top of the fabric. Then start your second line of stitching
7/8" down, start at the center back seam, stitch all the way
around but stop about 1: from where you started. Now take
your elastic piece, I usually pin a large safety pin on the end-
I also mark one side of the elastic with a pen, to make sure
that the elastic doesn't get twisted and flipped. Using the
safety pin to move the elastic thru the slot you have prepared.
Once you get it all the way around and back out the opening,
put the garment on and pull the elastic snug so that it feels
comfortable but not too tight. Pin the elastic at that point,
then stitch together (overlap about 1/2 to 1 inch) After
that, stitch the opening shut where you put the elastic in.
