I have watched hundreds of hours of similar content and this is honestly the most authentic, real, useful and honest talk. ❤ thank you for sharing.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
I agree~ iv got so much from this video ❤
Facts
I agree!!!
Oh my , I love you. I had a tumor grow in my spine 10 years ago. I had to quit hairdressing overnight. I had a 8 year old, 10 year old, and a 12 year old. I too am a Christian!!! I’m married to a wonderful husband and he is now helping me start a sewing business. I was blessed by a wonderful mother in law who was a very very talented seamstress and taught me everything she knew. Just love her! Thanks sooo much for the video!
Your very welcome, I hope it helps!
Your genuineness and honesty is appreciated. PS: I made a point to watch the ads 😂
Wonderful advice! Love that you give our Lord credit for helping you! ❤
Great information! Thank you for explaining each step in an a way that is simple and easy to understand! You make it sound so doable!! God bless you, your family and your business! ☺
There are no words to express how much I appreciated the information that you shared with us. Just invaluable!!!!
Your very welcome, I hope it helps!
Thank you for sharing your experience with starting a “work from home business!”
You were very clear and I think you covered everything we need to know. I’m glad I ran across your channel, I think it was a God thing! I’m not even sure that starting a sewing business is what I want to do. I’m just looking for something to do that will give me “purpose” in my life.
I know they say God has a purpose for everyone but I’ve never been able to find mine.
You said you are a Christian and so am I, I also don’t believe in coincidence, so I found you for a reason 😁
You'll find your purpose, He'll make it clear at the right time ;-)
I've watched so many videos about how to start and grow my business, but you are the only one who addressed my concerns. I've been trying to recruit a grandchild to set up a web site for me while another one said use Etsy. However, I need to not spend money until I can sell items. I've made lots of things and given or donated items, and I never thought of your ideas of getting recommendations or photos (everything that you mentioned). You are the angel on earth for all of us who need real life suggestions. THANK YOU!
Your very welcome, I hope it helps!
Love everything about you! Thank You for this information and may God bless your business!!
That’s an awesome advice
Thanks for the advice. The most important of all is "Don't get a credit card." Yes. Don't ever start with debt.
Thanks for everything.
Yes it is! Your very welcome!

Thank you very much, I'm glad it helped you.
I am so happy to have stumbled across this video!! I am a sewer and quilter, love to crochet and paint as well but as of right now its all about the quilting (crocheting is something easier to take on the road with me, lol). I am packed to the gills in my bedroom here with tons of things to sell but have been having a very rough time in how to promote what it is that I am doing other than showing it on my social media sites. I do have a friend that will allow me to set up an area in his shop here in town. I just need to get all my things up in his shop then start also letting others know. But anyways I could go on and on. I also am a part-time cake decorator here in my town but I rather be making a living off what I really want and quit stressing and living in fear of how I am gonna pay for my bills. I have many talents but fear of making what I do will just sit and sit and never sell. Many times it is so hard to keep my faith up and to just give it to God to handle, but I am trying.
You can do it, just start small ;-)
Valuable information, thank you.
Your very welcome!
I found this video because I am in a similar position that you were in when you got started! I’m not pregnant though! Lol! But, I have younger children and older children and I want/need to stay home to raise them. We are in debt and things are super tight. My husband is doing a great job, but I feel like I need to help bring in income. I recently got a part-time job doing some gardening work. But, it takes me away from my duties in the house and I know there’s something better for me.
I started sewing when I was 15 and used to have my own business selling handbags and accessories. But now I pretty much only sew when I need to fix something or here and there just tinkering around. But, I know how to sew and I do enjoy it. I’ve watched a handful of videos today getting inspiration for turning sewing into a business, and your story has been the most inspiring to me. Thank you so much for sharing! I’m praying that the Lord will help me do it!
Best wishes in your new adventure! Look for craft fairs over the summer and built up inventory for that. I think everyone is having a hard time right now and small business is no exception. I don't want to be a downer but don't invest a lot. This economy is awful and I'm working harder than I've ever worked before and making less money. Look into making things people "need" not necessarily things people want and you might be ok. Sorry, it's been a rough 3 years lol

This popped up on my home page today. Very informative video. I have subscribed and I have also gone to your Etsy page and ordered two patterns. 😊
Yay! I believe I got your message this morning and replied. If you need any help shoot me a message ;-)
I've been catching myself what colors are popular for the year. Even for Christmas in January 2022 😊 Yep they are already prepping for Christmas. They have to make things through the year.☺️
Okay... You've just helped me think clearly, make good choices, and keep excellent records. Thank God for leading me to you, and thank you for sharing great ideas for a successful and profitable business startup.

Hello it’s the first time I am watching your video and I love your story and all the great tips you gave away. I appreciate and respect your smartness it’s very important for us ladies as we get carried away with emotion and listen to our heart instead of the head and we can end up running out of businesses. Surely it good to have a guideline and some kind of strictness to be able to save and make profit. All informational are so beneficial. Thank you so. I will and subs and share. Love from the Uk 🇬🇧
Thank you so much!
Thanks so much for sharing. This really helped me in wanting to sew some items to sell.
Your very welcome, I hope it helps!
Hi. I have just stumbled across your video and have found it really helpful and inspiring. I will be going into the final year of my university degree course in September. My studies are in textiles and surface design and as part of the coursework, I am required to develop my own brand so that I am ready to go off into the world once I graduate and hopefully make a successful career as a designer-maker. Your video has provided some really useful information which I can build on over the summer, ready to create business stationery, logo's etc in the Autumn. Thank you for your advice.
I am sooo glad this video was so helpful to you, that sounds like an amazing adventure you’ll be starting soon! Good luck to you!
Great information! Thank you. You covered a lot of territory.

I try ;-)
Thank you for making us wiser, good advice on how to save and make a profit.
I'm so glad it helped!!!
Hello, I absolutely love that you got down to being realistic. Realistic as it relates to not going out and spending a ton of money buying new items, websites etc. This is something I did initially and spent tons of money. Many of the you tube videos don't speak to this.
You talk about no cost avenues of getting exposure for your items. Social media is alive and thriving. Knowing how to navigate it is very important. Thank you for outlining that.
The tax information was great. I am sure you know about " home based business" write offs".
Thank you so much for being honest and sharing.
I kind of feel like that what a lot of people forget to tell everyone, I wish I had known before. I'm thinking about doing a follow up video because times are changing, we'll see. Thanks for the encouragement!
Madame you r good guideof any feldown energetic and skillful man those who lost there tinkfulwork

Oh my. What a wonderfully unique video. I just happened across your video at a time that I needed it. So much information for a novice. I have so much product that I didn’t know how to let people know, and then - how do I get paid and get it to them. I still need research for payment options, but you have motivated me. Thank you!!!!
Your very welcome, I'm so glad it helped!
Hi Faithwerks
Thanks for all the great tips that you shared.
You're very welcome!
Hullo from Bonny Scotland - THANK YOU for all your informative videos. GOOD LUCK.
Thank you so much, I hope they've helped!
Thank you for this video! I greatly appreciate all that you've shared. God bless!
Your very welcome, I hope it helps!
This is an excellent and helpful video packed with spot-on advice. It is sad that we don't hear much about mothers who want to stay home with their children, but are forced to work outside the home. I am grateful you have had the courage to be honest about this. I am a bit of a geek, but will spare you a 1,000 word comment about women prior to the industrial revolution who worked from home 🧐I am so impressed with the ingenuity and hard work you applied to your situation. May God continue to bless and keep you 🙏
I wish moms could stay home or weren't made to feel like less if they want to stay home with their children. They grow up sooooo fast and I missed a lot with my first 2 kids and made up my mind that it was NOT happening again. I do feel like there's pressure though from the new women's movement that if your not "working" that your lazy but we need to change that perception because we are doing the most important thing in the world, raising the next generation!
So well stated! A subject dear to my heart!
Your amazing and you put your faith where you should have, in God. Everything you said is absolutely true. Good luck 😊
THANK YOU so very much for the informative information, I've learned so much.
Your very welcome!
Thanks for sharing this information. May God continue to bless you in abundance for helping others that are in need 🙏🏽
Thank you so much!
Thank you for all your info. Really appreciated knowing the essential, and creative things to look out for when starting a business. May God Almighty continue to bless and prosper you!
Thank you so much, I'm glad it helped!
Great realistic video!
Thank you!
