From hobby to business

Some people become so skilled in their chosen hobby that they turn it into a business. Dunedinite Anne Lewis learned to sew as a young girl and later made clothes for her own children. She continued to sew for pleasure at home after store-bought clothes became cheaper than home-made, and she opened a sewing shop in 1996.
