Some of your quickest ways to make money with your sewing is to make small elegant gifts or party favors. Making your items unique or personalized will generate an interest in the rest of your work. If you need ideas just check out these bridal shower favors. The items are not sewn but they will give you some great ideas to work with.

With summer in full swing you can also make unique childrens party favors for outdoor parties. Keep the items easy to make but have them look like they took ages to put to together.

Below is a sewing video on how to sew from a pattern. The general information is there but the presentation of the buxom actress is not what I would call your regular how-to video. For those of you who can sew, promise you won't laugh too loudly. Video below:

Because I have a website I get spam email. Most of it is geared toward selling me SEO or website design but lately there is one company that is an embroidery company in China that has been trying to sell to me.

This brings up the point that as a company you never want to contact your competition. The email that I got was so full of spelling errors and looked like a kid put it together it looks more like a scam than an actual company. Here is the email without the pictures:

The number one mistake this company made is sending the email to another company that also does digitizing and embroidery - me. The next mistake was to mention payment arrangements right up front. That smacks of a paypal or credit card scam. Let's just say that the company in China will not be getting any jobs from customers here in the USA anytime soon.
