Fabric- If you want to supply fabric or other materials, please make sure that you purchase the correct type and amount. I will normally give you the fabric and notion requirements if you are doing the shopping.
For people outside of my area, it may save you some postage fees to have me purchase fabric. If I am purchasing fabric for you, I will mail swatches so that you can make a selection from several fabrics.
JoAnn Fabrics will allow you to pay for special orders in one location and have the fabric picked up in another. This will save you money- no need to ship it to me. Payment- a 50% deposit is due once the design and fabrics have been selected. Once I receive your deposit, I will purchase the materials and begin the work. At this point, the deposit is not refundable. The final balance is due when the garment is complete.
(Customers outside of my local area will receive photos of their finished item.)
If finances are an issue, I will allow 30 days after the completion date in order for you to make the final payment. After 30 days, the finished item may be sold. (However, if there are mitigating circumstances please let me know.) There will be no charge for holding your item for the 30 day period while waiting for your final payment
I accept money orders, personal checks, and cash. Payments may also be made through PayPal if you like. Returns/ Refunds- there are generally no refunds and no returns for custom work. Please keep in mind that you are in control of the entire process. You have chosen the design, selected the fabrics and provided accurate measurements. However, if there is a problem, I would like to have the opportuntiy to discuss it with you.
Completion Dates- This is when I promise to finish your project. Please be aware that this promise is made in good faith. However, there may be mitigating circumstances and I may ask for an extension. I usually build in extra time when I give a completion date and it has served both me and my clients well.
Measurements- Below is a basic chart showing how and where to measure. Depending on the style of the garment, I may ask for additional measurements. Please keep in mind that no single body is perfect and make sure that the measurements are accurate. I cannot assume responsibility for the fit of the garment if the measurements I receive are
not correct. Used with permission of McCall's Pattern Company |
