Introduction
iDesign
Coming in the next couple of months, I shall feature several designs I shall offer, they will be pictured under iDesign.
Pattern:
iDesign makes custom personal patterns tailored to individuals. iDesign will sew and construct the custom garment to specifications, which is a separate cost from the pattern.
You are free to provide me with a digital download or store bought pattern in your size. For changes to pattern a nominal fee is charged to make those changes.
* For brides to be I offer free fittings. An out-of-area fee $35 is charged for in-house visit of more than 10 miles.
* I can recommend to you patternmakers that have digital downloads. You can forward me the digital download you have purchased nd I will move foward with the pattern from there.
* Agreement:
You will need to sign what is known as an 'Agreement' which states what each of the parties shall provide to move the process forward. It is very simple laymen's language, so please don't see this as a deterrent.
* Upon party signing the Agreement to move the process forward I ask for half the cost 'good faith payment' and balance upon completed service/alteration.
Payment:
Several options are listed in the 'Agreement" Thumbtack is one way to make a payment.
*Travel:
There is an out-of-area travel fee per visit if you wish an in-house visit of $35 if you are more than 10 miles from my area.
*Quilting
I design and make handmade quilts, like those of Memory Quilts, Special Occasions, Holiday quilts.
*I have worked with lace, satin, chiffon, cotton, burlap, wool, viscose, linen, cotton, leather, vinyl, and other other blends of fabric.
* Please be aware even though I do furniture repair the type of repair I do is "SOFT" outdoor/indoor furniture repair (cushions pillows, swings, patio cushions, etc).
* I carry some outdoor/indoor materials for soft furniture. Please ask and I will forward you those that let me know if you would like to schedule a consultation.
* I also make curtains and drapery for any area of your home as well as many other small projects I might consider taking on.
* Please feel free to reach out to me for quotes on pricing for individual projects

All good things! iDesign is the business of a sweet lady who had recommendations for my teen daughter to try before making alterations to a dress which ended up not needing to be altered after all. Christine is honest, patient and accommodating, My daughter and I were happy to meet her and I will be keeping her number for future projects. Thank you Ms Christina. you’re a blessing!!

Happy to have found iDesign-Christine is superhelpful and professional, her work is fast, precise and beautiful, she gives great suggestions, and is very knowleageable. Communication was great! Very positive experience, -I recommend iDesign highly, and hope to come to Christine with future projects. (This one was an alteration of an occassion dress, fabric beautiful but tricky, both hemming and coming up with a clever solution for the neckline with a deep plunge.) Thank you, Christine!

I am so happy I found this business as I needed a recently purchased dress shortened. I had taken it to my regular tailor who said it was too complicated to do (there were sequins and jewels). She did a great job and finished it way before I needed it for New Years! Highly recommend!

Happy to hear it worked out well for you. Claire allowed me plenty of time to complete her hem wich was quite challenging but doable, I just knew it would take a little extra time with all the sequins and jewels. Thank you for your business!

She did a great job helping me customize these fight shorts, they’re layered and detail exactly how I wanted. I wish I found her sooner, I spent so much money with other people who couldn’t do what she did the first time. I’m thrilled!
