That sounds like a really courageous project in my book! <br /><br />>>Anon: They are pretty easy to install and my best advice would be to just do a few test runs on fabric swatches to get the feel of it. I might do a tutorial about them and you can also check this out http://nicolemdesign.blogspot.com/2008/07/eyelet-tutorial.html<br /><br />>>Cindy: I can so relate to that nervousness, I go into perfection mode when I sew for others and obsess about the tiniest stuff, like in this case that I put on of the eyelet rings the wrong way on the inside. There is no way you can tell, but I still feel bad about it. But hopefully we get over it as your say :)<br /><br />>>Judy Ross: Wow, you sounds really proficient! It's really encouraging to hear. Good points about communication. I also agree about spreading your wings, that is the thing I have enjoyed the most when I have sewn for others. It's always good to think outside the box!Johanna Luhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13829280594947262409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4681346101577849329.post-91600151032003466402009-09-20T23:34:42.193+02:002009-09-20T23:34:42.193+02:00I have sewn for others nearly as long as I have be...I have sewn for others nearly as long as I have been sewing. I have three sisters, and some of my earliest custom sewing was for them and their friends. I don't do it a lot, but I enjoy it when I do. A lot of the time I make formal dresses - bridesmaid's dresses, several wedding dresses, all sorts of things! One thing I really really like about this is that I get to make things I enjoy making, often drafting patterns too, for things that I would not have the opportunity to make for myself. It is a great chance to stretch my creative wings. <br /><br />I don't worry about happy customers because I try to be clear at all stages of the process what they want and what I can deliver. I hope that clear communication at all stages will lead to satisfaction, and so far it always has.Judy Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11534664726068560177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4681346101577849329.post-82625236046668410582009-09-20T17:24:22.530+02:002009-09-20T17:24:22.530+02:00I love the idea of sewing for others but when it c...I love the idea of sewing for others but when it comes down to it--I am NERVOUS to do it. Sewing has been for myself and relaxing. If I screw up--so be it, but I put too much pressure on myself when it is under review by others! Hopefully I will get over it. <br /><br />I love the shirt. The eyelets are wonderful!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07637619463745332087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4681346101577849329.post-65286145083563294242009-09-20T15:43:43.738+02:002009-09-20T15:43:43.738+02:00Oh Eyelets...am I stupid or are those things reall...Oh Eyelets...am I stupid or are those things really hard to install, could you make a quick tutorial...those illustration and very brief instructions on the back of the package are not doing helping me at all...I've been trying to finish a jacket I made, and this stupid eyelet is keeping me from finishing it...thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4681346101577849329.post-91289538615325798072009-09-20T14:01:28.021+02:002009-09-20T14:01:28.021+02:00I have sewn for others, my family.

I made one wedding dress and the bride was very happy; I choose to leave it at that, I am afraid that the customer would not be happy with the outcome. Besides sewing is something I do for me, I don't want it to be stressful.Lisette Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13332082021185663844noreply@blogger.com
