To be successful, you must become your own marketing manager and spread the word. People won't know you are providing seamstress services unless you tell them. These marketing strategies will help get the word out:
Word-of-Mouth --

You are providing a service -- a service that is becoming scarce. You have skills and expertise that other people need. A good seamstress is hard to find. People will be thankful to know you are providing these services. And if you are a good seamstress, you will quickly have lots of clients and repeat business.
Mailings --
If there are upscale neighborhoods in your area, you can find out the addresses and mail them a brochure and a business card. Or, you can drive through the neighborhoods and attach your brochure to their doorknobs or mailboxes (but you cannot put your brochure INSIDE the mailboxes).
