Answer 1

Buy about 25 feet of thin rope, gather it into a roll that has a diameter of about 10-12 inches, and go door to door selling handmade clothing lines.

You can go here http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Clothes-Line-Rope-1-4-X-50-Feet_W0QQitemZ4418132261QQcmdZViewItem
and buy 50 feet for $1.65 +S&H .

After the postman delivers your order just cut it in two pieces and sell each one for $2. With enough effort you could probably sell 2 lines per month.

For added profitability, you can sell clothing pins and clothing pin holders.

The fashion industry, as you can well imagine, is a very competitive one. To succeed takes knowledge, patience, talent and a bit of luck. As far as the knowledge bit goes, I found some sources that will assist you further.

Associations may be a good avenue to explore. These organizations will address many of the thoughts, questions and concerns you'll inevitably have about the clothing industry as well as many you haven't anticipated yet. See the source box for some relevant links.

There's nothing quite like research – the more you know about the clothing industry, the better. There are plenty of free informational resources out there. Check the source box for links to articles.
