Lots of people can make a few dollars a month. How many can make a living? Very precious few. The big success stories in any field of endeavor, on or off the web, comprise less than 1% of the people in that arena. You can make it happen but you need to be aware of how much time and effort it takes. You need to have a lot of business sense to make any business idea work for you.

I think this letter "sounds" great. I went through very similiar circumstances and gained customers the same way. However, the problem I and others encountered was work is not reliable enough in the off seasons to employ good help plus when you teach the girls to do it your way they end up saying hey why should I make this pittance when I can just do it for myself. They want to get paid by the hour, but since they are slow and inaccurate you are in the hole. When customers find out you are outsourcing they get very leary if not downright pissed off like you are some kind of opportunist. The best you can do is pay someone on disablity a little to assist here and there because they will not want to be discovered. There is no money to be made in sewing. I make no more now then I did 18 years ago because you can't raise your prices, customers rarely tip and it take 3 times as long to do a sewing project compared to offering a haircut for the money and because clothes don't grow like hair you have to have a huge customer base, which I have. It is not uncommon to see a client once a year or less. It is at the most a better than nothing job with no time to call your own. I have sewn for 18 years for the public.
