Too many people are doing all of that. With more saturation, prices fall. The truth is that when people want to spend their hard-earned money, they would rather go to a pro (Cakes n Cream instead of that chick in your office who bakes, BMPro instead of that girl down the street who does makeup on the weekend, a good tailor/design house after one has been disappointed by the N2,000 tailor in your area, etc). Which one interests you the most? Like which 2 can you see yourself talking about for an hour? My sister loved sewing, but couldn't see herself making clothes (the whole Nigeria was doing it and not particularly well). So she started sewing curtains. The difference between her and others is that she has excellent taste and keeps herself well-informed, so you're getting above the regular Naija stuff (she can look at your room, discuss furnishing and lighting and recommend a window treatment, send you images of ideas, swatches and suggestion of fabrics). She's doing well, she has students and teaches a class at the local community college near here. The Dining table linen she sewed and embroidered for us, everyone assumed we went to a shop to buy it. If I compare her to the guy who did my curtains (whom I had to go to market and suggest fabric, choose my fabric, all he did was come and measure my window, he couldn't advise what colours to go for), I know whom I will pay another time to do my curtains. So figure out what interests you and go for it AND DO IT WELL, BETTER THAN OTHERS. I'm a crafter and an artist myself and now that I'm swinging into a new phase of my life, I'm planning on doing more. |

Go online and look for crafts to do. I went to speak to those Basket weavers at Mende, they can charge N20,000 for a year of study. Imagine selling your handwork for N3,500 upwards, you can even supply decor companies and do new designs and styles. 1 Like |
