Guinevere Newton (Picture: Andrew Carpenter/001385-31)

Love to sew? Handy with a needle? Why not start your own sewing business, like UK teen Guinevere Newton? Starting sewing lessons at age 4, now 15-year-old Guinevere has always loved stitching. She decided to turn that love into a micro business. Now, she runs her own alterations business, repurposing clothes for her growing customer base. Guinevere is currently taking classes at a local design college to expand her knowledge. Her dream is to one day create her own clothing line, and this micro business is the first step in that direction!

Already have a great idea like Guinevere? Make it come to life in my book, Running a Micro Business!

From a parent

Thank you for your e-book on teen micro businesses. Your valuable experience and wealth of knowledge is vast.

Your presentations at Cincinnati homeschool conferences and sharing with us over the years have benefited us well.

I can hardly believe we are at this point in our life-and here he is a young man ready to try his fortune with the world.
