How did you start doing this? This is a question I receive at least a few times a week.
For those of you who have just stumbled across this - I own a sewing business and have a website - www.snugglebugkids.net - Usually the question is from customers or other mothers who wonder how in the world I have time to have a business being a Work At Home Mother of three kids. Well, first let me say that I am a night owl!!! I don't even start working until after 8:00pm when my kiddos have hit the hay. Second, I truly believe that God has given me a passion to create, sew, thrive on feeling overwhelmed, budget, schedule, and the list goes on and on. I am so thankful that He has given me the ability to do what I love! Third, my sweet husband is very supportive and even takes all kids, on occasion, so I can work like mad on large orders.
So, it all started when I had my first born and could not find a diaper bag I liked - I did find one, but is cost over $100 and wasn't anything spectacular! At this point I was staying at home with my little one, no hobbies, no extra money and not a whole lot to do. (Remember, I thrive on being overwhelmed). I had never taken a sewing class but my mother had given me her 25 year old Kenmore Sewing Machine. I found some fabric and Voila!! This was nearly 7 years ago and no one had home made diaper bags or purses. Within months I was doing home and work parties, craft shows and had Auburn Tiger Paw bags at a local college book store.
Then I had my second son.................................(the story continues...tomorrow:)
