    Hi Judy
    I live in Mississauga, Ontario.
    I have been a stay at home Mum for a long time.
    First by choice and then my daughter lost her leg to the flesh eating disease.
    Since I have no experience for a long time getting a job in an office has been difficult.
    That is when I decided to look into teaching sewing.
    I have a Diploma in Dressmaking and Fashion Design from India.
    Your website is totally amazing since I have no clue how to go about starting a class.
    I have a few questions.
    If you could get in touch with me by email that would be great.
    Looking forward to hear from you.
    Sunny skies and high fives.
    Sharmila

      Hi Ruth,
      I have never heard of a police clearance but you live in a different country than I, so just check with all of the local and state rules that you have before you begin. Best of luck with everything!

      The police clearance is probably very easy to obtain. Go to your local police station, tell them you what you want. In the US it’s called a background check, and there is usually a fee to obtain one. It may have to be redone annually. It’s a good idea for everyone working with children to have one for the parents’ peace of mind, and your insurance company might even require it.

    Hi There,
    I am a single, working mother to a 2yr old daughter. I have been sewing on and off again since i was ten. NOw i realise how valuable of a skill it is i want to pass it on to my daughter.
    Whatever i have created, friends and family have suggested i should sell my creations.
    I have been tossing over this idea of selling my creations or teaching for the past month now.
    As i have gone through your site i am confident, that i can do both and i am really looking forward to starting a studio a room in Henderson, New Zealand.
    Thank you so much for your guidance(and keep it coming).

      Hi Patricia,
      We try and add important information weekly to the site to help those out who want to teach others to sew, so just check our “updates” page often for the newest information, photo, or page. There is a lot of information on the site on how to start out, and also information for once you are established like what workshops and classes to offer. We have so much more information and pages to add but it is just me that works on the site in-between teaching. I do my best to try and add new pages whenever I can. Best of luck to you.

    Judi,

    THANK YOU for sharing your experience and lessons learned. I am a SAHM, love sewing and crafting, have 2 daughters… I’ve no doubt my story is much like many that you have heard from. I’m not formally taught, but I come from a family of sewers who made a living with their hands and machines. In trying to find ways to supplement our income and pay for my fabric stash, teaching was not my first line of thought. However, I am so incredibly inspired by you and your journey! I don’t know where to set both machines up as I barely have the table space for one, but I am going to de-clutter my way there. I have always thought that sewing was something everyone should have some idea how to do, to “fix” a hem, sew a button, or re-attach a teddy bear ear. It’s like being able to boil a pot of water and have dinner.

    Above I read that you had been sick. I hope is a temporary illness, like a cold. I pray you have a wonderful future, too! Thank you, again!
