The Sewing Mom

For the past several weeks, I’ve been reading a book I checked out from our local library, all about having a home based business. It’s sort of like the Home Business for Dummies, but not quite. I picked it up in the hopes it would provide me with a better track for my home based sewing business because I really feel like I don’t know what I’m doing with it. I know how to sew, I just don’t know how to turn it into a business.

I’m truthfully not sure if the book helped or hindered. It was pretty simple to read and I understood most of it, but it still leaves me with a ton of questions. The book covered everything from how to get a business license to how to accept credit cards as payments (something I’m not ready to do unless it’s through an online sale).  Sometimes I just feel so overwhelmed and clueless!

In the mean time, I’ve decided to go back to work, on a part time basis. I will write more about the specifics of the new job later, but tomorrow I will be attending a 6 hour orientation. Next Monday I begin 7 weeks of in office training and then I will be working from home. It will be nice to have a regular paycheck again, but I am still going to work on my sewing and my business.
