the possibility of turning a hobby into something that pays has been playing on my mind lately. something to do with the size of that michas stoffecke order perhaps but also finding there are many people based in the netherlands and germany who sell hand made roos clothes on ebay and similar stuff through online boutiques, something i don’t think happens - or i’m just not aware of - in the uk. whether this is because the market just isn’t there is the question you’d need to answer.

in any case it wouldn’t be something i’d consider doing before i’ve a lot more experience and expertise, but it’s an interesting idea to mull over in the mean time while i’m clocking up the sewing hours. this discussion on pr and the associated chat transcript are essential reading.
