How I started my small upcycling business + sew along with me!

One of my most asked question is 'How did you start your business?!', and today I am answering it! Whilst I sew a new style of bag, I go through a brief timeline of how AFRAYED Upcycling came about AND I've added some advice and tips in case you are on a similar journey! 🌸🧵 p.s I am very aware I say 'ermm' quite a lot...I'm trying to stop this 😂 In regards to the online marketing courses I took, I bought a few courses from The Small Business Handbook -https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/thesmall... I also bought a few small business related books too! If you enjoyed this video and have any questions, LET ME KNOW!👇 Follow me on other platforms to see day-today content!
