By A Customer
This review is from: The Busine$$ of Teaching Sewing: How to Be a Great Teacher, How to Run a Home-Based Teaching Business, How to Make Money Doing What You Love (Paperback)
This book takes you from simply taking a sewing class to
being able to run your own buisness. It details the steps
you must follow for a successful buisness. If you are the
kind of sewer who can manage your time wisely (the book
even sets out a sample guide to help out) this is definately
for you. "The Buisness of Teaching Sewing..." encourages
you to do what you love and passing it on to others. A
definate must for the sewer who wants to get started with
his/her own buisness, whether large or small.

This review is from: The Busine$$ of Teaching Sewing: How to Be a Great Teacher, How to Run a Home-Based Teaching Business, How to Make Money Doing What You Love (Paperback)
Most comprehensive book I have found that covers all the different points about teaching sewing. Covers costs, traveling, children and where to get lesson plans. A great start to finding out about a new teaching career.

This review is from: The Busine$$ of Teaching Sewing: How to Be a Great Teacher, How to Run a Home-Based Teaching Business, How to Make Money Doing What You Love (Kindle Edition)
I am a fan of Palmer and Pletsch. I downloaded this book on my Kindle. I was very disappointed, the information was very dated. The good part of the book is that if you are an absolute beginning sewing teacher, it offers basic advice on professionalism. However, most of the organizing tips and publicity tips are very outdated. I certainly did not expect to see a chapter on social networking and Facebook. However, it goes into great detail on making color slides and how to use a slide projector and handmade posters. For a book written in 1996, I would expect at least a Powerpoint presentation! The information about print advertising is sadly outdated, too. The pictures and fashions, hairdos and chapter on "accessories" are all out of the 70's. I'm sorry I wasted my money on this book.
