Most of us have fantasized about turning our hobbies into a money-making profession. Pamela has done it, and shares her experiences, suggestions, the pros and cons, and how to get started, in this interactive session with a workbook containing questions to ask yourself before you make the Big Leap, a Skill Checklist, and Resources. She will discuss personal traits that help, making a business and financial plan, web site development, advertising, how to get into and survive shows, pattern design and marketing, teaching, writing, and publishing. You will receive a workbook with all the exercises and resources and have ample time for questions and group problem solving.
