How To Turn Your Hobby Into A Day Job With Sewing Machines by Michelle Oberton


It's the American dream and it means taking something that you love and finding a way to make money at it. Today, a growing number of individuals are doing just that as they spend years turning their hobby into a full time, successful business. Sewing machines are an essential part of quilting, clothing design and other fabric creations. While many have an actual storefront presence, others are turning to the internet for their entrepreneurial adventure.

Sewing machines are most beneficial for anyone with a creative imagination. The ability to purchase pieces of plain fabric and turn it into a beautiful bed covering or clothing ensemble is a gift. Because it would take forever to manually sew either of these, sewing machines make it possible for seamstresses and/or designers to earn a good living while doing what they love.

Before deciding to start a business, individuals must first consider the type of product or service they will offer. For instance, will the sewing machines be used to repair clothing and hem the length of certain items or will it be used for fashion creation? Because the latter requires more detail, sewing machines with advanced features are often needed. Any of the basic sewing machines can help to mend tears and other tasks that a seamstress would do.

The next thing to ponder is distribution. How will your product be promoted and how will potential customers find out about your new business? Many businesses, which use sewing machines, are welcomed at craft fairs and may find success with distributing to local specialty stores.

If you plan to incorporate a website into your business, as every owner should, start small and work your way up. The basics of a good website will be a detailed look at the sewing machines you use, what your business offers in the way of products and/or services and a little background information about your expertise.

If you are just starting out and the business budget is limited, try and avoid the temptation of placing a huge display ad in a publication. Instead, consider writing a press release for distribution to local newspapers, magazines and trade publications. Sewing machines do nothing without a knowledgeable person to operate them, so be sure to let others know how you work. Introduce potential customers to your method of creation, concept on various sewing machines and do it all without sounding like an advertisement. In order for your press release to be published, it must be newsworthy. The best advice? Promote your grand opening, a special sale or other time-sensitive tidbit.

Using Fabric In Your Home Decorating: Inexpensive Ways To Transform A Room! by Kathy Wilson


Using fabric to decorate a room is an inexpensive way to add color, pattern and charm. Use fabric to soften a room, add romance, and give a room a finished feel. Fabric can be used in any room style, and on any budget! Follow these great guidelines for using fabric in home decorating without breaking your budget!

1. Inexpensive sources for fabric for decorating a room include using flat sheets from discount stores, quilts and tablecloths from yard sales (or your own linen closet!) or the discount table at any fabric store.

2. If you want to add pattern to a room with fabric, here is a no fail guideline. Use a solid, and stripe, and a small-medium scale pattern. Let each of the three fabrics share at least one color. Finally, distribute the pattern throughout the room following the 60/30/10 rule...Use your primary fabric, (usually the solid) in 60% of the room, the next fabric in 30% of the room, and the last fabric throughout 10% of the room.

3. Heavy pinch pleat draperies are long since passé. Use lighter rod pocket curtains to soften your windows. Twin flat sheets can fit most average windows with nothing more than a rod pocket sewn in! Make sure the curtains draw completely clear of the windows to let the most possible amount of light into the room. Also, consider hanging the curtain rod near the ceiling line instead of right above the window...it adds height and dimension to a room, making it look larger!

4. Simple throw pillows are easy and cheap to make, and can even be changed out with the seasons! Use them to add comfort to any room in your home...even the outdoor ones! Add a simple throw, and any corner of your room becomes a hideaway.

5. Stitch up placemats, tablecloths, and runners to soften the hard furniture in the room. If you don't sew, you can use iron on hem tape to make your creations. It's inexpensive, and can be found in the sewing aisle of any discount store, or at your local fabric shop.

6. Use existing fabrics such as pretty quilts and unused sheets to create layered table covers. It adds instant romance to any room! Check out thrift shops and yard sales, or learn to make them on your own. Do a google search and find dozens of sites ready to help you learn to sew and quilt.

7. Use cheap muslin to add natural and romantic statements in a room. Twist and wrap yards of muslin around a curtain rod and let drape to the floor for a wonderful organic window treatment. You can simply tie a knot in the end to finish. If your budget is really pinched, you can use muslin to make your window treatments, then just add borders of your favorite fabric to save on yardage.

Use creative sources for fabric, develop a plan, and add romance, color and style to any room using fabric!

Sewing Machine - Quick & Easy Sewing One Stitch At A Time.

Years ago, many of our ancestors spent many hours hand sewing clothes, quilts and other home accessories. Today, most hand sewn items are very expensive and that is because they are so rare. Through the years, more and more people began to look for an easier approach to sewing and that is where sewing machine come in. Gone are the days when, to sew a quilt, hours of time and fingers full of pin holes were the only way to finish a product. Sewing machine are used by individuals, as well as businesses.
Many homemakers use these time savers to mend problem areas in clothing or to create their own designs as a hobby. Businesses use sewing machine to increase the production of clothing and other accessories, while minimizing the cost to consumers. Hand sewn items take much more labor, and involve much more cost, than a modern machine-stitched garment.
Clothing designers, both professional and amateur, also find great uses for sewing machine to increase their product line. Rather than spending hours, days and weeks sewing one garment by hand, designers are able to spend more time designing and less time sewing thanks to the convenience of sewing machine. The efficiency of sewing machine are one of their best selling points. The speed at which a job can be completed is extremely appealing to the person on the go. With little time to spare, a sewing machine can do repairs within minutes. Selection of a sewing machine is the most important decision. The unit that you purchase should ultimately reflect the type of work that you intend to do.
If you plan on making general clothing repairs, such as fixing tears, mending holes, hemming pants, etc., then a basic sewing machine will probably work fine for your purpose. If you intend to sew quilts, design clothing or produce large quantities, a more advanced machine with a variety of options will likely suit you better than a basic model.
You can purchase a sewing machine almost anywhere, including retail stores, online shops and specialty craft centers.
The internet is a terrific source for information and a local store is a wonderful outlet for viewing various models in person. It is important to keep your sewing machine operating properly, which includes regular maintenance and immediate repair of any problems. By following the instruction manual, which was provided by the manufacturer, you should be able to understand how the individual machine works, its troubleshooting options and how to detect a problem. Generally, some obvious signs of a problem would be the sewing machine overheating, incorrect stitching or frequent stops or dragging while attempting to use the product. If you are unable to diagnose the problem using the owner´s manual, check the back of the book to see if there is a telephone number for the manufacturers customer service. If there is a warranty on the machine, make sure that you have it handy when making the call. If a problem cannot be fixed, the entire unit may require shipment to the manufacturer where it can be repaired on site.
