My hobbies are sewing and knitting.  I used to make a living sewing (I was a bridal seamstress) and I prefer having it as a hobby honestly.

I sew/quilt/crossstitch/crochet/bake.  If I had the time to actually do it, I could make money off it.  But I don't have the time to devote to creating anything, and I don't have the time to attend craft fairs and sell my items.  I would have to be strictly online, and that is tough to make money at without a following.

I like to bake but don't think I would like it as much if it became work, lol. I also like to sew and write poetry. Maybe I'll publish a book someday, lol~ doubt it. I told my husband I want to quit my job, sew quilts and sell them on etsy :)

I'm turning my hobby into my career. I will be singing for weddings and teaching voice lessons! :)

I turned garage sale shopping into a business and got all my kids stuff paid for at the same time :) Honestly though, I don't want to turn any more hobbies into businesses...then they become work.
