Starting and running your own sewing business is quite an adventure and knowing where to go for support and to get your questions answered is super helpful. I'm on a mission to offer that support.
If you're a member of the Ingenious Sewing Professionals Network facebook group you would have heard all about the “Ask Me Anything To Start or Improve Your Sewing Business” virtual meeting I hosted on July 5, 2017.
I've been sharing my experience of running a small sewing business in facebook live videos in the group but wanted aspiring and fellow sewing professionals to have a chance to actually talk to me and ask anything they want to know to get their sewing business off the ground or to the next level.
Below is the recording of the session. If people find it helpful I may host more. If you'd like to find out about any future meetings make sure you join the facebook group.

.. and a lot more ..
