You can stop by my house. I have a bunch of clothes that needs mending & resizing. I won't charge you much for letting you practice on my clothes. 
Mobile sewing shop idea.
A mobile sewing unit grows a business - Marine Fabricator
Giving me ideas... but seeing that the guy is based in NC where it's usually warmer most of the year compared to the PNW, for me I'd need something more like a motorcoach, RV, or 20+ ft box truck... like this basically

But what I can do right now and afford.. is more like India's roadside tailors 🤣🤣🤣

However.. a 10-14ft utility trailer might allow me to get mobile, get just the bare minimum of sewing equipment in, and the barest minimum working space.. and if it's under 3,600 pounds, my van can tow it, as it's rated for up to 3,600 pounds, if hauling nothing else in the van

You've seen my work here,it's mostly 500D-1000D Cordura and webbing. The fabrics, thread, needles, equipment that I have are oriented to such fabrics and the like and not setup for garments/light fabrics at the momentYou can stop by my house.

See, you WILL need practice.You've seen my work here,it's mostly 500D-1000D Cordura and webbing. The fabrics, thread, needles, equipment that I have are oriented to such fabrics and the like and not setup for garments/light fabrics at the moment
As to the rig this is what you need with a few custom alterations. Go big or go home (as I sit here at home).
I'm looking to at least get out of the apartment bedroom for sewing. Two to three options I can see that doesn't involve renting/leasing retail/shop space... a trailer if I have a tow rig, or a RV that I can strip out the interior and rebuild/renovate/remodel into a sewing loft; or start with a box truck/van and convert to a sewing loft, rewire/add wiring and AC ventilation system. Edit. I don't think a dinky Transit Connect is big enough a Sprinter, maybe but everyone wants a stupid amount of money for them.

Just thought of where this could actually be useful, MAYBE.... okay.
Gun shows parking lots or even in the event facility;
Ranges where competitions are happening, could do quick nylon repairs and upgrades there, as well as sell stuff there 🤔
Maybe even... airsoft mil-sim events where idiots are tearing things up lol

Small utility trailer layout idea; rough sketch, my phone camera is getting wonky. 5-6 ft wide, 8-10 ft long box plus the triangle nose. Cutting/layout table to the rear most, has fabric storage shelf under and large space below for totes for things or generator, on left, sewing machine on right near front. Angled bench would be hardware and tool storage and where I'd be putting bench press and other tools. Small cabinet above machine holds spools. Angled shelf on top near back would be for webbing rolls and such. Bar below holds rolls of fabric for easy cutting/layouts.

So.. maybe a box van would be better suited?
