Never could do the "make stuff to sell" bit. but the hey can you make _______? always did well. I mend clothes for friends of friends, family and church members. Made doll clothes and costumes for people that ask. They always paid me but not anywhere to be called "making a profit", is always a pay for materials, and a thankyou added to it.
I just never could do this for money.
Would be nice though! I have to admit, if it made good money, I would definitly get more done.
