| Contract Sewing... I'm desperatly looking for help with the sewing of my PocoMutt stuff. My hands are killing me and there is just not enough time in a day to keep up with all the work. A local search came out negative and I'm looking now for a contract sewer whom I can send the pre cut items to and get them back finished. My question is if somebody here has experience with it and could tell me how that's supposed to work and maybe I'm lucky and find a helper right here on YT???????? Mitzi wants her mommie back! |

| I love to sew, but don't know if I'd be good enough for you. I'd be willing to try a sample for you. Just send me your instructions and I'm sure I'd be able to do it.

| When my Mother used to sew she was paid per piece. I would have your prospective contract sewer enter into a non-disclosure/non -compete agreement first though, so you don't run the risk of someone stealing your patterns.

| I certainly feel for you! It's too bad you couldn't find someone local to you Shipping things out seems like an extra expense that will get costly. My other concern would be, will the quality be what you expect? Just a thought and this is what i had to do last year, but maybe you could downsize a bit and specialize in only a few things? I certainly know how you feel and this time of year is just so busy! ((HUGS)) |

| I know Des has been doing that recently to make sure she gets all her holiday items out in time. You might want to PM her and see how she found someone and what her experience has been with using outside help.

| How about retirees that like to sew? Every time I go to the fabric store there is allways some older ladies picking up fabrics for projects around the house.

| Thanks for the suggestion but I have already flyers in all the stores around here, the senior center, the chinese restaurant... and I ask everybody I come across if they would know anybody. The elderly ladies are all so busy with their quilts. Pocomoke is not very big and not a lot of unemployed people live here, thank God, and the ones that are not employed... well... let's say I wouldn't trust them with my clean fabics... |
