Fabulous New Cost-Savings Costume Service Available NOW!

We pattern & cut - you sew!

Thinking outside the box, in these unsettling economic times, I have been thinking of new ways to save money for our clients. After receiving an interesting phone call request on Monday, I have hit on a wonderful idea that I do not think has been offered before!

I was asked by a desperate show choir director, where could he find patterns for show choir costumes for his booster parents to sew? My answer was, well, there are no show choir costume patterns available. Perhaps he needs crafty, resourceful and artistic booster parents with incredible hidden talents and skills.  I thought, wow-where is he going to find what he needs?

Fabric stores do not carry show choir patterns. Maybe an evening gown or prom dress pattern could work out. But I know how difficult it is to expand sizes from your basic 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, up to a 26 or down to a 0 or child size, for example. And there are no built-in short or long torso options, as we have with our patterns.

Then I kept thinking about it, and I am launching a brand new service. I am calling it Simply SEW! Service by Satin Stitches. What is it?

It is all the professional design service that we currently offer with one BIG difference-YOU do the sewing!

All the preliminary work is done for you. Professional styling based on your ideas, professional patternmaking based on our over 30 years in the performance apparel manufacturing business, CAD-computerized patternmaking, computerized sizing and computerized cutting. All you will need to do is sew all of the sized pieces into fabulous custom costumes for your dance groups!

All the headaches are removed! All the tricky patternmaking and perfectly proportioned costumes for all of your dancers sizes, are all ready for you. Sewing and trimming are tasks easily handled by your talented volunteer booster parents.

Do you have difficult-to-fit dancers such as big-busted girls, long and lanky girls, short girls-with hourglass figures? FIT THEM RIGHT THE FIRST TIME, without reworking. Satin Stitches has the expertise to do this.

Do you have champagne tastes, but a beer budget for costumes, but you can sew? We can now help you stretch your budget and get the best of both worlds.

Custom designs for 25-50 percent LESS than what our fully completed Satin Stitches costumes price out for.

If you have relied on sewing talent at your studio to meet your needs for unique costumes, but have found that it takes up too much of your time, and is a MAJOR headache, because, bless their hearts, your sewing talent personnel are just not professional patternmakers, and cannot easily create the unique patterns for your special styles that you want?

Maybe it is time for a change! Let Satin Stitches do the hard part, and keep the easy part for your enthusiastic studio sewing Moms.

All the details on this service will be posted to our website at www.satinstitches.com very soon!
