I have only 2 hours a day — can tailoring still become a useful side income?

Nandhini Suresh asks

A question we hear often
I am in Coimbatore and have a 3-year-old daughter, so most of my day is already taken up. I can usually get around two quiet hours after she sleeps, and I was thinking of slowly building tailoring into a side income. I don't expect instant money, but I want to know if the effort can eventually be worthwhile.

ONSA's Answer

Two hours a day, after a three-year-old finally sleeps, is real time — don't undersell it just because it isn't eight hours in a workshop. What actually determines whether it turns into income isn't the hour count, it's whether you start with work you can finish well in that window instead of taking on orders that need a full day. Begin narrow: a couple of garment types you can do reliably, priced properly, rather than saying yes to everything. Keep a simple note of your hours and earnings for a few months — that will tell you far more honestly than any promise anyone online can make you.
