Best & Worst Things About This Career
As reported by people currently doing the job
"The best part of my career is probably the flexibility. I'm able to work as long as I want and take as many breaks as I need. There's no punch-in clock. I'm not on a schedule. I can take as long or as little time as I want to finish something. I love to sew. I love making clothes and purses, and different things no one's seen before. I love to work with my hands. The worst part is that it's not constant. Sometimes I'm not even working when there are no orders."

Tips for Succeeding in This Career
Helpful Info From Insiders
"Don't get discouraged. If you're a seamstress, you can usually find good work outside of your home, too. There are a lot of shops that hire people just to sew or create original garments. If you decide to work out of your home, make sure you put your creations online. This is how you make the bulk of your paycheck. You can't depend on getting work where you live unless you're in a bigger city where you can put your creations in stores and boutiques."
