Are sewing shops profitable? We have one in my town and to be honest, I’ve always assumed they were barely getting by. I love to sew and mend and have had the “maybe I could take in mending” dream, but nobody I know actually mends their clothing anyway. They just chuck em and order more from Amazon.

Cut and sew doesn’t necessarily mean tailoring. Plenty of trades at the sewing machine. I make custom canvas and upholstery for boats among other things. Maybe they’re busy or maybe not, but a lot of people are shocked when they find out I work year round and have a long waiting list.

And yes, I have an art degree lol

If you make fetish gear, yes. At least according to my gf who used to get commissioned for it from time to time
