Are sewing shops profitable? We have one in my town and to be honest, I’ve always assumed they were barely getting by. I love to sew and mend and have had the “maybe I could take in mending” dream, but nobody I know actually mends their clothing anyway. They just chuck em and order more from Amazon.
Cut and sew doesn’t necessarily mean tailoring. Plenty of trades at the sewing machine. I make custom canvas and upholstery for boats among other things. Maybe they’re busy or maybe not, but a lot of people are shocked when they find out I work year round and have a long waiting list.

Speak for yourself. I have a cut and sew shop and do quite well. Knowledge is power. Skill is rare.

If you make fetish gear, yes. At least according to my gf who used to get commissioned for it from time to time
