Sew Be It

I return emails/ tests/ calls within 2 hours, on average. I speak with them about their needs and set up a time to meet. Sometimes I will aks for a photo in advance. 

I have been sewing  since I was a teen and am mostly self taught with new challenges. If I feel I can’t do something, I will refuse the work. I won’t open a can of worms. But I will often find a creative solution for clients, that is a reasonable cost . I am honest, down to earth and offer them choices for them to decide. 

I have a fixed prices on standard work such as hems, taking in seams and such. Other work is hourly at $35/ hour. 

I started working at home when my children were born for extra income. It was not our main income. After my divorce, and relocation , I have used Facebook and other social media to  network and build my business. Mostly it’s word of mouth based on my reputation. 

Mostly moms, clients from local stores ( my business card is in many shops and malls ) and word of mouth in schools. Teachers tell other teachers, etc. 

I love movies and theatre. I also love local cofffee shops ! 

I have few vices ! 

I offer my references and photos of my custom work. There are some samples of wall hanging and  quilts in my home. Mostly, they have hear of me, and have trust.  I think they just like my easy going nature. WYSIWYG.

think about the skills, the reputation, years of experience, if you can understand what they will do ( language barriers ), how long the work will take, and that you have the right undergarments and shoes before you arrive.
