Hi, friend! I’m Nikki
Several years ago I needed to earn a few thousand dollars in a summer because I desperately needed a new laptop. We were a one income military, homeschooling family and I knew alterations and craft fairs weren’t going to cut it this time.
So I found an out-of-the-box way to use my sewing skills to earn that money in a short amount of time AND I had so much fun, I didn’t stop when that summer was over.
I’ve used my sewing skills to earn money in lots of ways over the years. None of them were lucrative and none of them were quick.
UNTIL I started teaching sewing camps and classes to kids! Teaching 4 camps over that summer bought me a new laptop, but I didn’t stop there.
I kept teaching classes and provided a second income for our family while remaining home with my kids, whom I homeschool, while only working a few days a month, AND while experiencing joy and fulfillment in what I was doing.
And I’m going to teach you how to get started teaching classes so you can do the same in this comprehensive eBook.
What’s Inside?
As I continued to teach sewing classes, I had some friends who wanted to try it out too, but they had so many questions, mostly things like, “but … how exactly?” Haha!
This eBook answers every question you could possible have and probably way more. Business logistics, how to find students, what to charge, how to find space in your home, how to grow, even safety and liability concerns. PLUS, of course, a huge list of camp themes and projects ideas for sewing classes that are tried and true and I know kids love!
“I have been teaching sewing for a few years at a homeschool co-op. Previously, I taught at a 4-H group but have hesitated to teach in my home. I bought the book and am now ready to give it a try. My young adult daughters do a lot of theatre, so a class on making costumes would be perfect, too. The book has a lot of practical information and creative ideas told in Nikki's fun, down-to-earth voice . Get her book if you are at all interested in teaching sewing!” — Julia D.

FAQ’s
Do I need to be an expert at sewing to teach it? You need some sewing skills, but you do not need to be an expert level sewist in order to teach others. You only need to be the lead learner :)
How much does it cost to start teaching sewing classes? I started teaching with very little money. I used the few machines I already had for my first camp and we used materials from my stash. I added machines and tools as I earned money.
What is the income potential? You can earn as much or as little as you want with the methods described in the book! An extra $1-$2K a month is very doable, or this method can be grown into a full time income.
What if I don’t know anybody to teach? Don’t worry, I promise you can find students! There are sections in the book devoted solely to marketing your classes with specific strategies, ideas, and examples.
