APRIL 3, 2013

Learning to sew takes time and equipment. A super short history of sewing. In many parts of the US, people learned to sew as part of their life skills – from parents or family or schools. Although Mom didn’t sew much (she did mend), she made sure I took Home Ec in high school. Clothing is cheap, sewing is not.

Make Money from your Skills or Hobbies. Do you love to sew/knit/crochet? I shop at thrift stores frequently and I am always amazed at how much I see with store tags still on the product. Many stores will at least give you a store credit if you don’t have your receipt. Return Unused Purchases.

My hobbies include hiking/walking/running outside, reading, museums, and listening to music. Sewing holes in clothes, using up leftovers before they go bad, finding free activities for my little on the weekends, checking buy nothing or marketplace before purchasing- I am always just looking for ways to spend money.
