Day 18 Post 16 - Side Hustle?

 I am in love vintage sewing machines. There is a tug at my soul every time I see one. I want to rescue them all. The thing is a lot of them need work. I currently don't have the skills I need to restore them. But that is going to change next month.

Killian, my son, and I are going to take a course in sewing machine repair. Once we pass the course, we will be certified repair technicians. We are registered for the class and will depart in 4 weeks for the week long training. We are going to pick 2 of my machines to take with us to work on during the free time.

There really isn't anyone in this area that works on sewing machines. We are thinking we could earn a little extra money by doing repairs for others. We are also hoping to refurbish old machines and sell them. This is not something we are hoping to make a living at. But it is not out of the realm of possibilities that it could grow into something profitable.

Right now we are investigating small business licenses and other things we need to have to start doing it for profit.  We are hoping that we can run it out of our home like a cottage industry. So far everything I see related to cottage industry is dealing with food. So I need to do a little more digging.

If nothing else, I can work on my own machines and keep them in good running order. But still the whole business prospect is more than a little thrilling to me. 

Do you have a side hustle?
