Tailors to Tailors how do you give your clients prices for their outfits, this is not the regular cost price Vs overhead cost.

The other day I called a carpenter to come and do a ceiling board changing in my apartment,

Carpenter: this man went on to tell me what I'll buy and the price and gave me the total of the materials of N6500, which he was the one that later went to purchase it

Me: I was thinking the said 6500 normally was the actual cost to get the job done, then he said my workmanship is N5,000 and I was like haba reduce price and he said but my charges are not even up to the materials price.

The total expense to fix just one portion of the ceiling board was now amounted to N11,500

DEAR TAILORS: The reason I used a carpenter is because a carpenter buys materials to do a job, just like tailors and he knows the prices to all the materials he listed, even if U go ahead to buy the material yourself , they will still charge you workmanship.

This is what a cli£nt s£nt to me

Pr00f that n0 matter how aff0rdable your services are people will still try to down play your hardwork. At the £nd of the day know your w0rth.

A lot of tailors think the only way to make m0ney is by sewing for clients.

But honestly?

There are side hustl£s inside fashion that can bring extra income without stressing yourself every day.

Here are hot side hustles you can start as a tailor/fashion designer:
✨ Ready-to-wear (RTW) pieces
Sew simple outfits in different sizes and post them online.
People love easy-to-buy fashion.

✨ Sewing classes
You don’t need a big shop before teaching.
Even beginner less0ns on WhatsApp or TikTok can bring students.

✨ Fabric sourcing
Some people d0n’t know where to get good fabrics.
Help them buy quality materials and charg£ a profit.

✨ Fashion c0ntent creati0n
Post styling tips, sewing process videos, transformati0n clips, or client reactions.
Brands can pay you later for prom0tion.

✨ Selling sewing tools/accessories
Measuring tapes, threads, needles, mannequins, labels, packaging bags…
Small profits add up fast.

✨ Ankara scraps business
Those leftover fabrics?
Turn them into bonnets, scrunchies, tote bags, or baby accessories instead of wasting them.

✨ Pattern drafting
Many beginner tailors will pay for simple patterns that save them stress.

The truth is:
One sewing skill can create multiple streams of income if you use it wisely. 💡✂️
Stop limiting yourself to only “client work.”

Which of these side hustles would you actually try? 👀

Tailors, let’s be honest.
Sewing alone d0esn’t always pay enough.
And waiting for clients can be frustrating at times.

But there are smart ways to make extra m0ney without leaving your work.
Here are a few side hustl£s you can start today:

1. Sell Sewing Patterns
Design a pattern once, then sell it multiple times.
People love ready-to-use patterns, especially beginners.

2. Teach Simple Sewing Tutorials
Even if it’s online or in your neighborhood, people pay to learn.

You can teach one style a week and make money consistently.

3. Offer Alteration Services
Fix and adjust clothes for pe0ple then explain. Not everyone wants a new outfit.
You can fix hems, sh0rten sleeves, tighten or loosen waists.
Small jobs like this bring steady money.

4. Make Accessories
Head ties, belts, simple bags, things that sell quickly and need little fabric.

5. Create Digital Content About Sewing
Share tips, mini tutorials, or guides online.

Brands and beginners are willing to pay for useful content.

You don’t need to leave sewing.
You just need to think smart and use what you already know to make more m0ney.
