OK, after my first new client here, I found another expense item (or 2).
I will need the plastic film bags, like dry cleaners use.........as well as hangers. Forgot those in my planning here. Been awhile since I've done this, I won't need to have them all at once, but do need to add them, as it makes the finished product look nicer. There is a full length mirror somewhere here, so that is just needing to be found & hung, not a cash outlay.
Will search out the bags locally, as shipping would kill me, a roll of those weighs an absolute ton.
I forgot how much I really enjoy sewing for others. My first customer will be a forever customer. She really can't get her clothes to fit. Too small of a waist. Size 2 are too big, there aren't many 1's out there she says. She will be great advertising too, as she cuts hair in a local shop.....(guess where I'm going for my next hair cut?)
The job will take maybe 15 minutes, so 45 figuring the fitting and the pick up time......... And, the total will be $20.00 + tax. Priced low enough she will be able to return, and enough so I can see some income. If she starts sending me clients, I'll be happy to do her things for half. Cheap advertising!
Feeling very energized, which is good, I've got 10 minutes left til the bus drops off my kiddo. Have a 6 hour "shift" with him now........not nearly as much fun as sewing!!
Found a couple needs

I'm a big advocate of old machines, the new ones aren't really made to sew, just full of fancy stuff so people buy them......take them home.....don't know what to do with them.......sell them at garage sales. But the old machines........ keep chugging away on your singer!!
