Can I Sew Full-Time? Taking a Break From My Day-Job

I’m taking a break from my day-job so that I can focus fully on my sewing projects for a while. But will it work out financially? And will I get bored with sewing? I’ve been maintaining a full-time job while also writing two sewing books, doing weekly YouTube videos, launching a small accessory sewing pattern line, blogging every week and doing lots of other things that goes into having what has essentially become a sewing business. But as you might have already guessed, a sewing business is not necessarily a great way to make money. So I had to make a tough decision. Now, this is not a sustainable way to live, at least not long term. To be honest, it’s like asking for an eventual burnout and after I published my second book Master the Coverstitch Machine this spring, I began feeling the first signs of a burnout approaching, such as forgetfulness, lack of motivation, tiredness and having a harder time to decompress. ✂️ Shop my sewing books and patterns https://shop.thelaststitch.com/ 📧 Subscribe to my newsletter https://www.thelaststitch.com/subscribe-to-my-newsletter 📘 Order my latest book Master the Coverstitch Machine https://www.thelaststitch.com/master-the-coverstitch-book/ 🏃‍♀️ Get my book Sewing Activewear http://www.thelaststitch.com/sewingactivewear ✂️Aila Workout Leggings Sewing Pattern https://shop.thelaststitch.com/products/aila-leggings ✂️ Shop my favourite sewing tools https://www.amazon.com/shop/thelaststitch Sign up to get a quick guide to the best sewing machine stretch seams http://www.thelaststitch.com/knit-sewing-machine-stitches/ ✂️Find me on the Internet✂️ My blog: http://www.thelaststitch.com Instagram: https://instagram.com/laststitch Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/laststitchsew/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.se/thelaststitchsew/ Amazon Disclosure: As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases that are disclosed as Amazon affiliate links.
