Nah, sewing is a very handy skill to know. Not sure if you have any decent upholstery shops near you, but I have an idea that may fit your skillz? Here in my town there is not a decent auto upholstery shop. I do alot of headliners, and am good at taking the seats apart and swapping the factory covers, cushions and such. But I do not have the equipment or experience to actually make the covers. That 6k sewing machine must be sturdy enough to sew vinyl, and leather. Just an idea. I have been thinking about getting a big used machine and getting the hang of it, or getting the wife into making stuff. You could pass out some cards at car shows, etc. Also, boat people will pay to have seats made for the boats, and that is super easy.
Might fit with you making the dog sheets/blankets? Always good to have a diverse selection of people to cater to.
