My IFR Listing
My sewing experience covers a variety of projects over many years - sewing for myself and others, alterations and special projects. Since moving to California I have done contract sewing (from Craig's List).
For a Sacramento company, I redesigned existing products, made samples and master patterns for manufacturing in China.
I helped set up an in-home business for a person who wanted to market medical scrubs. I tailored commercial patterns to make them unique, selected the fabric and cut and sewed the garments.
I worked for 7 months in 2007 for a start-up company in Concord that specializes in custom western clothing. My job was to design and apply the rhinestone embellishment for the leather collar and cuffs, as well as stone the garment body. I also did pattern drafting, sewed leather chaps, and various other projects, such as completing the sewing of a heavy canvas vendor booth that was constructed in velcro'd sections for easy assembly and take-down.
For the past several months in 2008, I have contracted with a San Rafael company sewing their clothing line.
I have a great in-home workshop with sewing machine, serger and work tables. I am located just off 680 in Concord.
You can reach me through this email address if you think I might be appropriate for your project.

I work in both Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and Red Hook, Brooklyn. (My studio is in Red Hook, but I live in Williamsburg).
My general alterations price list can be found here: www.myspace.com/williamsburgseamster
Pricing on custom orders can really vary, but they come from a base rate of $15/hour of work. I am a fast but detail oriented worker, and my charges are honest and fair.
I do this part time, but am flexible and for most alterations, can ensure a turn around of 1 week, but if something is needed more urgently, I'm sure I can get it done. Custom orders should allow 1 to 2 weeks.
As for ability, I have been sewing my entire life. I have a bachelors degree in fashion design, and have worked for a high end custom/bespoke women's wear company as well as an online sewing community, where I taught sewing through photograph/video how tos, in addition to designing patterns and sewing samples.
All work is done in a clean, cat-free, and smoke-free studio, with special attention to detail. Also, although I'd like to be good at everything, I'm not. If there is something I think is out of my ability, I will not take the job.
I also have a line of hand-made clothing, some of which you can see here: www.miseryandconyc.etsy.com

My aim is to assist each client in finding a unique style of clothing that is both functional and flattering.
I create a pattern from your individual measurements, and refine it through fittings. Once we find the cut that works for you, any number of garments can be created from your pattern in a variety of styles and fabrics.
My custom clothing addresses several points:
Individual style; you are involved in choosing the design, the fabric, the color.
Good fit; many women wear a non-standard size (some are not even aware of this) and have difficulty finding clothing (particularly pants and dresses) that fit.
Lifestyle; do you do a lot of walking? Like to be out in the rain? Never go to the drycleaner? Work with children? Want to be able to go to the office and hop on your bike without changing? Need a dress for a spring wedding that you can wear again in the winter? All of these issues will be addressed throughout the design process.
