$$$$ Need a Seamstress.... $$$$Today, 1:59 PM
So at first I thought I wanted someone to teach me how to sew, while that is still a goal it is a longer term goal then I had thought. For right now I need someone to do a bunch of sewing things for me, I am willing to pay a reasonable rate or will work out some sort of compenstation for this person. Here is a brief summary of what I am looking for, and if things work out it will be an ongoing thing because I always have things I want done.

So first off I have a bunch of little repair items that need to be done like straps popped off and small little stuff like that. A couple of rips in things and maybe a couple of more complex repairs, nothing crazy, I want these things done immediately and done decently. About 10-15 separate items..

Next I have some clothes that I would like modified, some are major modifications some are small things. Hell I'm not sure if some of the things I want are even possible, some creative imput and thoughts would be very welcome, but after you see what I am talking about you will totally understand what I am going for. There are about 30-50 projects like this and more all the time as I shop about the city.

After that, I have some things that I want created. I have some fabrics and patterns and a whole slew of ideas, again creative imput would be greatly appreciated, and the sky is the limit, I have spent thousands of dollars on the clothes I have, and there are so many more things that I want but can never find.

So because of my current situation, I would like someone to come to my home talk about all these things with me, figure maybe like an hour long converstation a cup of tea, and at the very least any compentant seamstress will at least be able to do the repair work I want done so whomever will end up with at least that much work. I would rather the work be done somewhere other then my house, however I do have a sewing machine that I do not know how to use that is still in the box. I would need this person to shop for materials, (I will reimburse for any supplies purchased on my behalf, and would be willing to to give some cash up front for those such purchases).

You must have a somewhat open mind and it would be nice if someone got into the work, but it isn't necessary for you to like what you are doing, just as long as it gets done reasonably well. I am very mellow, laid back, patient, but have some pet peeves when it comes to clothes. You will have to be to take constructive feedback and be willing to do something again if it isn't the way I would like it. I would like to pay someone per piece, I don't like the concept of paying someone per hour, to me that encourages people to do things in a too time consuming way. Also I am not a perfectionist, but these clothes would need to be high enough quality to be able to wear to events/parties/etc.

Drop me a line and we can set up a time for your interview, if you have a portfolio of work that would be nice to see, it isn't necessary however. Please email.

Thanks
