I took a break from my day job for six months to work full-time on my sewing business. Was I able to replace my salary or did I have to go back to my day job because the math didn't add up? In this candid video, I share the financial realities of trying to get a craft business off the ground and how hard it is to get to a good income level, despite having been in the business off and on for over 10 years. I also talk about the struggles of trying to balance a day job while also running a growing sewing business. This stuff is hard, and while it might seem easy for some, I think for the most of us it's been a real struggle at times. ✂️ Shop my sewing books and patterns https://shop.thelaststitch.com/ 📘 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 ✂️ 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.
