If you love turning a waste piece of cloth into a beautiful pillow cover or a handbag, you can definitely make good money doing it from your home. (You learn the basics here)

All you need is a sewing machine (You can see a few listings on amazon), a little bit of creativity to turn garbage into something useful, and a marketplace to sell it. 

Just put your creativity into action and come up with beautiful handmade crafts. Then go to Amazon handmade or Etsy to see what types of crafts are high in demand and decide whether or not you can fulfill the demand. 

Once you have the idea in your mind, you can then use your sewing power to make something even better. 

And finally, create your storefront on Amazon handmade or Etsy to list your handmade craft.
