I've been reading a few of the guides on here, settled into being a ranger/tailor. How long does it take to actually turn a profit? I've spent like 400 sids on trying to create even my first item, and it's getting nowhere..

Just skill up with one or two failures at a time. When you can start making sleeves is when you start making mad dosh.
The scissors there give 10 skill ups worth of skill points, IIRC

I'm not sure specifically when a clothworker can start turning a profit, but don't rush the process. There's a delay to learning skills and if you mess up five times inside the same hour you still only get one chance to learn. Roleplay figuring out what you got wrong, do something else, look for feedback (if you find someone who will actually use the Teach command on you that's gravy).
Look for cheaper materials/recipes to practice with. Failing with a small's worth of silk will lose you quite a bit, but failing at crafting a stone into dye or at dyeing a feather (warning, different crafting skill, since cotton doesn't appear applicable currently) may be less of a loss for a ranger.
Edit: Tools help, definitely. They can either help you succeed at easy things or fail at more difficult.

There's a skill timer, such that you can only raise something about once every 45 minutes to an hour, whether logged in or not.

You won't regularly turn a profit until you get to journeyman. Anything under that, and you will barely break even or even lose money regularly. It depends on the materials you use and the products made as to how even you break at that point.

The only game I've played where I look forward and celebrate failures.

Once you get up to jman with scissors just buy like six of each color of sandcloth. Use the sleeves recipe ( 1 piece of cloth yields like 3 sleeves ) and the windcloak recipe. Make 6 of each type because i believe that is the max you can sell to the buyer. So if you do it correctly and you have like 500+ net sid for about 20 minutes of spamcrafting.
