2018 is here! Time for an Update!

As you might be able to notice, this blog is my least updated form of social media. I've greatly embraced Instagram and Facebook for showing clips of my sewing life and sharing small thoughts on my day to day.

If you don't already follow me on those platforms, please do as they are much more interesting and easier for me to update than this blog which is more or less a landing page.

I will be updating the prices for my business and posting those in this next week. I haven't changed my prices in 10 years and it's well overdue. I've put it off for a few years and I can't put it off any longer. To those of you who find me unaffordable now, I appreciate your business and I hope you'll find someone with similar quality for your future needs. To those of you who will stick it out with me through an increase, you will hopefully find that my turnaround times decrease and that I'm a little easier to get ahold of.

My goals in this increase are, overall, to reduce my stress and to provide better service and quality across the board. I hustle every day and I'd like to balance the hustle a little better for the sake of my health.

If you're curious how I increased the prices... I didn't do an even percentage across all items as that just doesn't make sense for this kind of work. Everything factors across my hourly rate and I used some other local sewing shops for comps. I'll still never be able to charge as high as some places charge for certain things... this price increase is baby steps for me too. As I get older and gain more experience I'm understanding where I fit into the spectrum of seamstresses based on my quality and so this increase is reflective of that as well.

I'm no longer going to worry if the lady down the street offers a $5 pant hem... I'm not her and she's not me... and that is ok.<3 br="">
