Question 1

Is there smoking in or around your home or sewing studio?

Accepted Answer

There is ZERO smoking allowed anywhere near my materials & products OR in my home in general.  I quit smoking many years ago & now abhore the very odor.   As a matter of fact, I usually get told through feedback how good my items smell.

Question 2

Do you own pets?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely!    I have 3 Boston Terriers & 1 cat.    They are not allowed near my products or materials & I have an isolated creative space.  Great care goes into protecting my materials & finished products from purchase of products to end results.     That doesn't mean I won't do a brag or a share from time to time on the blog.

Question 3

Do you accept Custom Request/Orders?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely!  As a matter of fact, 50% or more of my business is for clients with custom request & I'm able to give each client a fairly quick (less than 7 days, 10 if i'm ordering fabric from across the country) turnaround time.    I have been blessed with exceptionally great clients who I love working with on special projects.   I bill my custom orders through paypal using your email address.  I keep you up to date with the progress & pictures if you so desire along the way.

Question 4

Do you ship internationally?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely!  I request your postal code & then I charge your exact shipping cost.   I am not responsible for any tariffs, taxes or extra fees on your end.  I simply charge shipping cost.   I welcome international sales & have done a great many of them.  THANK YOU!

Question 5

Your items smell GREAT!  What is your secret?

Accepted Answer

I wash my items in ARM & HAMMER SKIN SENSITIVE detergent on the appropriate water temperature and cycle settings.    For skin sensitive baby items I use DREFT or Woolite depending on the fiber content & requirements.   I rinse twice to remove any and all soap residue.   I then use either SNUGGLE LAVENDER SCENT or DOWNY APRIL FRESH SCENT fabric softener.

Question 6

How long have you been sewing?

Accepted Answer

I have been sewing since I was 16 years young.  I am now, well, it's been a very long time.  I try to always learn something new or a new way of doing something I already know.   Years don't matter near as much as technique & quality.  But, four plus decades into this craft & I'm pretty comfortable around a sewing machine.
