Re: HOW DO I FIND A SEAMSTRESS?
Mon, May 15, 2006 - 6:34 PMTry asking at fabric stores and dry cleaners. Seamstresses often post business cards at fabric stores. Finding one that can pattern from a picture may be tricky. Ask to see photos of their work. Ask about price. Patternmaking may be $$$!! You want someone local if possible, so they can measure and fit you in person.

Re: HOW DO I FIND A SEAMSTRESS?
Tue, May 16, 2006 - 6:24 AMif you don't mind sending stuff across country i am a seamstress and can do what you are suggesting... i have a motto... if you can imagine it, i can make it... even if you just want to draw a picture....lol...
i have pay pal... i charge a $100 deposit for all work... this covers material and any work up to $100 ... i charge $8 an hour for simple sewing and $12 for fancy embroidery and bead work... if the material and work are less than $100 total, the remainder is cheerfully refunded... if the material and labor go over $100, the garments will be delivered on final payment... for cross country customers i will charge shipping...
if you don't find a seamstress in your area, i would be happy to help you -
