Hobbies can make you money


I am very thankful that my crafty talent has made me money in the past my only problem is that I do not have the proper equipment or materials half of the time to work. I just finished up 2 corsets a couple of weeks ago that the people have been waiting on for about 6 months. It took me so long because most of it I hand sewed which is time consuming plus school is distracting.

Right now I am going through my stuff trying to get organized and seeing what I can sell. I think I am going to use the money from what I sell to buy a new sewing machine and serger, maybe even a dress form. This way I can try to do some more Steampunk clothing since that is what is selling right now. Anyway, I do not have much to sell and what I should be selling I don’t want to. For example, the shoes above, I love these shoes! Are they functional? No. Do I wear them a lot? No. Can I get twice as much as what I paid for them? Probably but you have to admit these shoes are awesome and everyone must have a pair. These Penthouse Leopard print Wedges were not an impulse buy, I thought about buying these shoes for a month and worked an extra half a shift at work to buy these shoes and they might be worth MORE in a few more years when I grow wary of them. I am keeping them.
