For all of you guys who love sewing, there are some awesome ways to turn that hobby into a part-time (or even full-time) business. Sites like Etsy are always a great place to advertise your works and wares, but you don’t always have to make complex items just to make a prophet. Sometimes just filling a small niche for a certain set of people is the best way to meet a demand and make money.
Selling your crafted items is such an awesome side hustle that I thought I’d share some great sewing projects done by awesome bloggers so you could try your hand at it. So feel free to check out what I’ve found below and let me know what you think!

Practically everyone has a laptop and they’re always looking for a way to stand out from the crowd. So if you make your own unique pattern, you’re giving buyers an actual option to be different.. In a cute way. Also, is really simple (seriously), so that’s a huge plus in my lazy book.

Ok guys, HEAR ME OUT. This may seem like a strange thing to make and sell on Etsy, but after seeing my sister go through three pregnancies I realized how much of a legitimate niche this is. Like there are so many moms who will spend top dollar for well made and thought out diaper bags. Definitely something to think about.

Why not make something that’s your passion into an actual job (or business). There’s no need to sink so much of your time and life into a job that isn’t going to get you anywhere in 10 years down the road. So why not do some research and go after what you really love?
