RE: If you can dream it, you can Steemit: Stop the excuses and own life like a boss.
I do a bit of sewing (not very good at it) but I have an electric brother machine and 2 old singer machines (more for show than to use). I'm really a painter and digital artist, but occasionally I like to have a go at making fabric flowers or bunting, maybe the odd cushion or curtain.
I don't know about your experiences but a lot of part time work available to mums is either low paid or unsociable hours, so you do start to look for alternatives and that's when you become an entrepreneur.
I have never heard of op-shops, just had to do a google ;)!
I mostly get vintage fabric from op-shops. That is what we call them in Australia. I think Americans call them thrift shops. It is usually a volunteer run store that sells secondhand items, mainly clothes to raise money for charity. They are a wealth of cool finds.
We call them charity shops in the UK, but I recognise thrift store.
