FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Prices depend on the cost of the fabric. I have many beautiful fabrics to offer and am happy to use your fabric or find you the best price on a fabric you've already discovered through my suppliers. Schedule a time for me to bring samples to your home so we can find the perfect fabric to go with your decor and color scheme!
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Include pictures of your project in your message if you'd like for me to give you an estimate. My partner and I travel around 1-2 days/month doing home visits to show fabrics and take measurements. We are also the ones doing all of the sewing. This eliminates any miscommunications in the workroom. Let me know when you're ready to start your project and we'll figure out how to best fit you into our home visit schedule. We generally don't need to take your furniture pieces to do slipcovers. The exception being the occasional barrel chairs and wingback chairs or other uniquely shaped pieces that would get the best result being in-shop for a pin fitting. We also do window treatments, bedding and small upholstery projects (dining chairs, footstools).
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have 30+ years of hands-on training in the sewing industry. I've worked with many skilled colleagues sharing techniques and tips and continue learning with each new project and the many associates in online workroom groups.
