"Entrepeneur's Guide to Sewn Product Manufacturing"
Just want to let people know that this book, by Kathleen Fasanella, is
available on Amazon. Kathleen is the seller and I believe there are only fifteen or so left. The book has been very difficult to get and I highly reccommend it. |

Thanks again Penny! Checked out Southstarsupply! Whoa....this is what I found on the home page:
Visitors please note: Orders less than $25.00 are subject to a $10.00 handling fee. Orders between $25.00 and $50.00 are subject to a $5.00 handling fee. Now that's awful high in my opinion. They do have LOTS of interesting items. Sigh. BeckyInSeattle -- Kitty Fluff Posted via MooTalk http://mootalk.com |

Orders between $25.00 and $50.00 are subject to a $5.00 handling fee. Now that's awful high in my opinion. They do have LOTS of interesting items. Sigh. BeckyInSeattl Here's my opinion. That book is probably the BEST book out there if you are planning on designing a line of clothes or products and hoping to sell them in a manner that will be profitable and successful. It will save you hundreds if not thousands of dollars in stupid mistakes that are very common to home and non-sewers wanting to break out into retail/wholesale/ marketing. If you are even remotely serious about going into a sewing business, you need to invest in this. Southstar caters to sewing professionals. Most businesses that cater to pros have a minimum. Hint. order two packs of the 10 packs of rotary cutter blades @ 17$ ea. and you've met the minimum, not so hard to do, and it beats waiting for a Jo-anns coupon for 50% off one pack of two. What's your potential success worth to you? If nothing else, request that your library get it, mine did. Amazon has 13 copies left, no handling change, type in the author's name "Fasanella" and it will bring it right up. You get reviews, too. Re-read this whole thread, it has the table of contents from the book listed. Of course, you can do whatever you want. You mentioned originally that you want to design a line of children's clothes... what do you know, really? Do you know how to determine your market? Draft an professional pattern that other sewers, when you hire them, will be able to follow? Do you know what makes a garment look homemade to a re-seller? Do you know how to calculate how much yardage you'll need, and how to sew efficiently? Can you break down your costs? Do you understand how and where copyright law applies to patterns and designs? I'm not trying to be harsh, just realistic here. One thing this book taught me was how much I didn't know, and I adjusted my business accordingly.
