Are you searching for legitimate work at home ideas? Are you a stay at home mom who wants to become a work at home mom? Do you need extra money to pay for diapers and family expenses?
If you have a talent for sewing, here are some work at home job ideas. You won’t get rich but it could provide you with income to help make ends meet. These ideas can be done locally, or you can sell your products on Etsy, Craigslist or eBay.
Sew personalized baby memory quilts.
One way to make extra spending money is to create and sell memory quilts. The customer will provide you with four to twelve of their baby’s old shirts, sleepers and blankets. These could be as simple as sewing all of the shirts together, and lining the back with a soft fabric. If you can quilt, you could shape them into beautiful quilt designs.
Sew bridesmaid dresses.
Another idea is to sew bridesmaid dresses. You definitely won’t get rich making these (after paying for material, sequins, etc.) but you can make some extra cash. You might even find a bride who will want you to sew her wedding dress and/or veil.
Sew personalized Halloween costumes.
Many moms would love for their kids to have unique, homemade Halloween costumes. However, most cannot sew. Your services will allow their little ones to have adorable costumes. It is best to start advertising at the beginning of September.
Sew bedroom curtains.
Another idea is to sell curtains for unique kid’s bedrooms. You could create curtains using John Deere or Hello Kitty fabric and more. Contact local interior designers to let them know of your services.
Sew cloth diapers.
Many moms have become “green” in recent years and prefer to use cloth diapers. You could sew these adorable diapers on eBay or Etsy. You could also promote them at craft fairs and bazaars. To connect with other moms who sew cloth diapers, please read “Cloth Diaper Forums: Advice and Support Groups on Cloth Diapering.”
Sew college memory t-shirt quilts.
Another suggestion is to market a business making memory t-shirt quilts. College graduates might enjoy a quilt created with their old sorority and college group shirts. You could also make these for kids, using old sports t-shirts.
Teach sewing classes to home-schooled students.
If you think you might enjoy teaching, this idea will bring some extra money. Offer to teach sewing classes to home schooled students. Contact local home school groups in the area to promote your services. You will have to keep the classes very small, as most students will not have access to a sewing machine.
