Lead and Follow

Lead and Follow is a personal endeavour to design, make, and sell products. After learning how to sew, it seemed like the perfect way to start a small business with little financial overhead to start up.

Requirements to start with a small investment

1. Skills - Learn to sew :)

2. Materials - Quality and durable materials, but must be easily sourced from retailers and available in small quantities.

3. Simple - Time is money here, products must have simple/quick construction techniques.

4. Stack up - Mindful of how many layers of fabric come together. A basic home machine can only handle so much.
