Due to me receiving unemployment money right now, all my shops are closed... not allowed to make much money, and I could get into trouble - especially if I want to do this for a living later, with help from our unemployment agency.
So what do I do right now to pass the time?
I mainly think about whether or not I want to do this fulltime. I start my business plan. I calculate materials. I read up on taxes and insurance. I try and calculate how many pieces I need to sell direct, how many wholesale, and how many I therefore need to make a week, a month, a year.
When not busy with that, I sew... My way of practicing, getting better at the machine, a digitizing for my embroidery unit. If you are ever curious, stop by tinyHAMBURG.com for more details and photos.
I have no clue what the outcome will be, but if I am honest with myself, I would love to do this for a living. If I can find the discipline. If I can make this work. If if if...
