Sewing For Money

Beginning Inventory

If selling be sure to keep track of all base expenses...and then remember you are not FREE.

Decide how and what you are going to sell.  Open your excel or whatever you like to use, or even a small ledger book.  Write down all your expenses so you can subtract out the costs when you determine your price.  Add in gas and time to pick your supplies and then your time to make.  You wonder why things you buy premade costs so much?  One person is paid to order the supplies or pick them up and another is paid to make them, and then there is the third or more party selling them.  YOURS is a deal.
