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!
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! ☺
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 😁
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!
Youre chikdren are blessed to have their mother there. You know what they are uo to and can correct their behaviour. This is the most valuable time. Great foundations for rearing good honest prople.
that is exactly how I started my sewing business. good for you! good for us. I was guided by advice I got a long time ago: a business that doesn't make money is a hobby.
Thank you for your good ideas.i am a widow for 13 years now. Sew guniea pigs cage liner,tunnels, cuddles sack, peedpads, waterdrip pads.i trust God .sometimes I think I am not doing anything right.at frist 3 years ago.i had so many orders I couldn't keep up.now for year it really slow.so I had to added other things to my sewing. Hope it helped. GOD.BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
I don't think it's just you, the economy stinks right now and people aren't spending like they used to on want items. I see it on FB all the time, small business is hurting so we have to adjust and be creative.
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!
Thank you so much for sharing. This is really helpful. The situation you had was similar as mine, except you already on the road. I am just begin to think about it. So thank you again. May God bless you!
I found your video really interesting. I am a seamstress and I have had my own sewing business since 2011 but I have been sewing for over 50 years. I have a website and sell on etsy as well. I also teach sewing classes. I started on etsy in 2011 there are no up front expenses until you make a sale and then everything comes out of the sale so I don't even get a monthly bill. Shipping is so easy too, I print labels and ship from my home. I don't have to go to the post office to ship anything. I started my sewing business with all the sewing supplies I already had, just like you. When I started out I was making baby boutique clothes. Now I have two shops on etsy. I make and sell handmade bags and accessories in one shop and the other shop I sell appliques and other sewing supplies. I like how you have made all your connections just through your sales and word of mouth. I don't do any advertising either. I am also a Christian and God has blessed me beyond measure in my sewing business. I know this is what I am suppose to be doing.
You are heaven sent! Starting up a new business at this stage in my life can be challenging. So much info on the World Wide Web and you just narrowed it all down for me! As a sewer, I’m wondering how can I sell my goods and make a profit! Thank you so much for being an incredible forerunner for me!
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.☺️
Thank you. I've been put off setting up a small business because the thought of etsy and ebay... Together with worrying about advertising costs and everything else was just too anxiety inducing. This is the best advice I've seen.
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
Great information I am starting out as 73 for a part time work to keep me busy I love sewing and quilting This advice will help me not spend to much and make smart decisions
That is an amazing story...starting a business at six months pregnant with baby number five is very impressive. I have no children yet and I'm thinking of starting a little Etsy shop and even that idea overwhelms me!
Thank you for giving so much information that I am going to try this with my sewing and hope to start an at home business. Believe me I have enough fabric here and notions. Thank you again
Thank you so much for the informative information. I started a business as I am retired n I love to sew so thought why not make it a business. So I did but have not sold anything. I Realized where I went wrong. So your information will be put to go use. Thank again. Brenda
Exactly me I don’t wanna skip a beat of my babies growing ! It’s kicked off good my baby bibs I have great orders but shipping . Do you have your own label maker ? Or when first starting ? I know you talked about post offices an lines lol that’s the my thing I’m hesitant on should I buy it? Should I not , I mean I really do because it’s thinking smart an saving money …please agree lol 😊
I do agree, Pirate ship is something I've looked into so that I can ship my items without standing in line and I believe it to be cheaper. You can purchase a laser printer things on Amazon and a scale and do everything yourself. I'll be doing this soon as I may be moving and I won't have my amazing post office anymore.
Thank you so much faith!! I just found you today and I believe the Lord directed me to your vlog. I am an empty nester and moved to a totally new city from South Florida to Central Florida two years ago. I am a cosmetologist and it has been very difficult with what's going on in the world today to start a new clientele here in Central Florida. So I'm wanting to have time flexibility and work from home so I've decided as you did to use the talents that I have with sewing to start a sewing business. So I so appreciate all the encouragement and words of wisdom that you included in your blog that I watch today. I hope I can keep in touch with you in case I have questions I'm going to definitely be watching your future vlogs I subscribed to your channel and I'm very excited to hear and even go back to your prior vlogs and listen to them as well. Thank you again Faith so much for having this channel and sharing your wisdom with us!!
You are very welcome, I'm so glad you found me! I hope your venture is prosperous and anytime you have questions feel free to ask! My sewing abilities is DEFINATELY from God lol I started sewing before pinterest or UA-cam lol
Thank You. I Am A New To Sewing. Didnt Know I Have A Talent In Sewing. Started Selling Surgical Caps For Work. This Video Will Definitely Help Me Improve And Make Use Of A Small Business
Thank you for sharing. Everything you said is so so true. For those reasons I sew only for myself, kids and immediate family only. If I sew for someone else, I give a price first, I want half up front and then I will begin thinking about making it. As you say, I’ve been burned and my sewing it my love. I do it because it’s my hobby, I don’t want it as a business and I’ve proven that.
I like your information i have been a crafter for years i have made money over the years but never really had a business kinda sell a product that i have made dose fine for just a little bit then drops off im trying now to get some more business i make all kind of things like you right now im in to feed sack tote bags example chichen feed sacks cows pigs but mine are lined have pockets and key chains so just want to say thank you for the information Sharelon Nichols
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!
That's amazing! Glad you found me! My husband and I were trying to go to Ghana a few years ago to be missionaries but the economy crash happened, and God had other plans, but Africa holds a special place in our hearts.
You are blessed to bless others. Surely sharing such important life improving ideas. I am at a farm with my husband and really stuck for income. Thank you for food for thought.
What a fantastic and helpful video. I am also trusting the Lord for guidance on how to start a small sewing business. May the good Lord continue to bless yours👍
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.
Wow I have some struggles with in my buisness too ,and I am a person like to save a lot ,not wasting on advertising .you are very good at explaining keep up the good work hopefully we can chat one day.
Thank you for this video and ideas. I recently started a small business and appreciate hearing about how you have been successful. I also appreciate hearing about how you listened to The Lord and give Him credit. I just found your channel and enjoyed this episode, subscribed, and look forward to watching many more.
I'm so glad the video helped, I made it because not a lot of people are as open and honest as I am lol and these are things I wish I had known when I got started.
Thank you for being so humble and sharing your story. This is the best video about starting a business. God bless you for wanting to stay home raising your children.
Thank you for sharing, I love crafting and people ask me "where did I find such an item, I made", well now that I'm retired and in need of additional income, you have given me "HOPE" and I look forward to hearing from you again
I am so grateful for finding your video. Thank you Faith so very much for sharing your knowledge in a down to earth way. God Bless you, your family and Business .
I used a similar method. I didn’t have any materials for what I wanted to make so I went on my local moms group and I found some moms that wanted my product (a very specific upcycled baby mittens) the first 15 pairs I made got me my material stash ! So one more sweater made two pairs of my mittens! So I put it out there that if they gave me the sweater, I would give them the mittens! I got 15 people sharing in a second set a 15 pairs of mittens to sell. It worked out awesome
wow!!! JUST WOW!!!! Thank you for sharing, very truthfully, all you experiences of starting your business. You are just what I needed to guide me! thank you !!!!!
I'm so glad that UA-cam recommended this video! I'm super broke right now and I'm full-time caregiver to my dad. These past few days, I've been thinking of how to start my own sewing business so I could add income to our home. Thank you soooooo so much for making this video!
Hi, I just came across your channel! Glory to God! You’re an answer prayer 💕 How did you do it with small babies. I feel like it’s challenging for me right now. I know God has this for me. I have small children all ages under 7.
I made a video on how I sew with littles because so many people asked lol It may not be the popular way to do things but it allowed me to get stuff done lol
I find fabric at thrift stores also, at times for 50 cents a yard!!! Also doll making supplies, and more. I once found boxes of brand new baby doll shoes and porcelain doll parts. It's a great place to go for yarn and embroidery thread and can be washed before using.
Thank you for this I can’t stay long enough at other videos long enough to fully watch them u made this interesting and I love how u included your experience wish me luck that I may start my own business I wanted to start with pillowcases n stay with them but I am now Hoping I can make a variety of stuff that people will buy god bless you❤️
Thank you for such candid advice! I love sewing and want to make a side hustle of it but I don’t want to take something I enjoy and turn it into a stressful burden. What do you recommend to keep loving it?
Sorry, somehow I missed this. It can get that way from time to time but I find that when I take the time to do/make things I like it tends to keep me going. I try really hard to take time for creativity or I noticed that that's when it happens. I get so busy with orders that I feel run down and just saying, today is MY day to do something fun and it really does help.
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!
I hear you, every January I have to remind myself to not get discouraged lol Typically sales are dead around that time of the year so I just focus on cleaning my house lol
Thanks for your candid honesty. Business is tough and getting something people like is sometimes tough too. But what the heck. You got fabric, you make stuff. Thanks again.
Thank you this in great information... I just have tons of fabric I need to use up !! I have been trying to sew for years but I have been looking after my mum who has dementia so it's been tough going !
God bless you for taking care of her, I helped for a month with a friends mom and it was hard but I can’t imagine it being your parent. Prayers for you and your family.
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.

Your genuineness and honesty is appreciated. PS: I made a point to watch the ads 😂
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!
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! ☺

Your very welcome, I hope it helped!
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 ;-)
Love that you said you were a Christian. Thank you for all the great info. God continue to bless you & your family.
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!
Youre chikdren are blessed to have their mother there. You know what they are uo to and can correct their behaviour. This is the most valuable time. Great foundations for rearing good honest prople.

Thank you for this video and ideas. I recently started a small business and appreciate hearing about how you have been successful. I also appreciate hearing about how you listened to The Lord and give Him credit. I just found your channel and enjoyed this episode, subscribed, and look forward to watching many more.
So glad you found me and the video was helpful! I couldn't have done any of this without Him, that is for sure! lol
i'm watching 2 years later ! i love everything you said ! i watched so many videos about this subject and no one was this genuine !
I'm so glad the video helped, I made it because not a lot of people are as open and honest as I am lol and these are things I wish I had known when I got started.
Your firehose comment 😂😂😂
Praise God! Thank you for sharing your tips!
That's the example they used when we were in school and I felt like it was fitting lol
Thank you for being so humble and sharing your story. This is the best video about starting a business. God bless you for wanting to stay home raising your children.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it and I hope it helps.
Thank you for sharing, I love crafting and people ask me "where did I find such an item, I made", well now that I'm retired and in need of additional income, you have given me "HOPE" and I look forward to hearing from you again
I hope it helps and that you can make a little extra income doing what you love!
Thanks so much for sharing. This really helped me in wanting to sew some items to sell.

I am so grateful for finding your video. Thank you Faith so very much for sharing your knowledge in a down to earth way. God Bless you, your family and Business .
Your very welcome, I'm glad you found me!
I used a similar method. I didn’t have any materials for what I wanted to make so I went on my local moms group and I found some moms that wanted my product (a very specific upcycled baby mittens) the first 15 pairs I made got me my material stash ! So one more sweater made two pairs of my mittens! So I put it out there that if they gave me the sweater, I would give them the mittens! I got 15 people sharing in a second set a 15 pairs of mittens to sell. It worked out awesome
That's great! Especially when it's all profit! lol
Thank you for your Kindness information.I would like to start.

I'm so glad that UA-cam recommended this video! I'm super broke right now and I'm full-time caregiver to my dad. These past few days, I've been thinking of how to start my own sewing business so I could add income to our home. Thank you soooooo so much for making this video!

Hi, I just came across your channel! Glory to God! You’re an answer prayer 💕
How did you do it with small babies. I feel like it’s challenging for me right now. I know God has this for me. I have small children all ages under 7.
I made a video on how I sew with littles because so many people asked lol It may not be the popular way to do things but it allowed me to get stuff done lol
Very informative...smart decision 😊
Thank you for making us wiser, good advice on how to save and make a profit.
I'm so glad it helped!!!
This is great thanks for the advice. I love to buy fabric at the second hand stores. Especially vintage fabric 😍
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video ;-)
O wow! I ❤️ I never thought to go to the 2nd hand or to thrift fabric ?! My next mission 👍 thank you 🙏
@@willowpelt369 I find new fabric at thrift stores all the time!
I find fabric at thrift stores also, at times for 50 cents a yard!!! Also doll making supplies, and more. I once found boxes of brand new baby doll shoes and porcelain doll parts. It's a great place to go for yarn and embroidery thread and can be washed before using.
Very nice of you to share the logistics that went along with your blessing.
Your very welcome and I hope it helps!
You are so so nice, thanks for taking the time to do this.
AAAWWWW well thank you and your very welcome ;-)

Hoping I can make a variety of stuff that people will buy god bless you❤️
I'm so glad the video was helpful! Best wishes on your venture!
Thank you for such candid advice! I love sewing and want to make a side hustle of it but I don’t want to take something I enjoy and turn it into a stressful burden. What do you recommend to keep loving it?
Sorry, somehow I missed this. It can get that way from time to time but I find that when I take the time to do/make things I like it tends to keep me going. I try really hard to take time for creativity or I noticed that that's when it happens. I get so busy with orders that I feel run down and just saying, today is MY day to do something fun and it really does help.
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!
Thanks for the info...
Your very welcome!

Thank you for this video. I have learnt a lot and as you said 'don't get discouraged' that is part I need to work on as well as TRUST 😀
I hear you, every January I have to remind myself to not get discouraged lol Typically sales are dead around that time of the year so I just focus on cleaning my house lol
Thank you so much for sharing the wisdom🙏
Your very welcome ;-)
Very, very informative. I really enjoyed listening to you.
Thank you very much 🙂
Thanks for your candid honesty. Business is tough and getting something people like is sometimes tough too. But what the heck. You got fabric, you make stuff. Thanks again.
Thank you this in great information... I just have tons of fabric I need to use up !! I have been trying to sew for years but I have been looking after my mum who has dementia so it's been tough going !
God bless you for taking care of her, I helped for a month with a friends mom and it was hard but I can’t imagine it being your parent. Prayers for you and your family.
