I love the work I do and my customers are wonderful. They aren't afraid to ask if I can do something. Seems like I've done most everything under the sun from A-Z, but I do have my limitations. I'm honest with my customers as to how I feel about a job. Sometimes I do get something that is beyond my knowledge or out of my comfort zone. I don't like to practice on their clothing and tell them so. That is the best thing a person can do.

Having a sewing business isn't the easiest, but it can be done. I'm just thankful to have mine and I know I'm in a great location for it. Because of word of mouth and my reputation, I have a customer base that covers a nice portion of the map around my town. That took hard work, but it was so very worth it!
