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 your daughter finally sleeps is real time, Nandhini — don't measure it against a full workday and feel like it isn't enough. What decides whether this becomes income isn't how many hours you have, it's whether you take on work you can actually finish well inside those two hours. Start narrow — pick two or three garment types you can do reliably and price properly, instead of saying yes to every order that comes your way. Keep a simple note of your time and what you earn for a few months. That will tell you far more honestly than any promise anyone online, including me, could make you upfront.
