I want to thank everyone who took the time to encourage me to stand firm on my prices when dealing with the designer. I am now a brick wall. Karen, the link to WorkroomConcepts was exactly what I needed! Thank you so very much. I've been studying/taking notes/ memorizing. This info will save me a lot of hard knocks. Took me two days to make a dressmaker's slipcover for an antique slipper chair, but it turned out quite pretty. Looks like it is going to an afternoon tea party. One of these days I'll post some pics, and you'll find I am not just a poseur. Cea |

It's ME that's just posing as a sewist at present! Kate XXXXXX --- That's funny--but it's exactly the way I feel when a week goes by and I haven't sewn a lick. I start to fear I'll forget everything I know. Cea |

Karen, the link to WorkroomConcepts was exactly what I needed! Thank
you so very much. I've been studying/taking notes/ memorizing. This info will save me a lot of hard knocks. http://www.workroomconcepts.com/articles.htm You're very welcome, Cea. My feeling in writing about sewing as a business, and sharing information, is that other industries don't have to reinvent the wheel every single time a new business opens--why should we? Kitty Stein feels the same way, and she's been incredibly helpful to lots of home dec workrooms over the years. Another excellent site is Cheryl Strickland's Drapery School: http://www.draperyschool.com/ She publishes the SewWhat? Newsletter for Drapery Workrooms, which is a wonderful resource for anyone who is interested in doing home dec, especially draperies and window treatments, for a living. I used to write the business column for the newsletter, but apparently it's now become a full-blown magazine since then . Karen Maslowski in Cincinnati |

I cannot log on into the forum; the reason posted is that "there is already another user with the same name." (sewingbythecea). Any chance you could log on and see if someone is using my email name? This is the first time I have tried to enter this site, so I doubt it is senility on my part...although one never knows... Cea |

Cea,
are you talking about the Custom Home Furnishings Forum? I haven't seen your user name on it. If all else fails, use a different name! --- Karen, may I ask a big favor?

Reply to: =A0 Karen Maslowski in Cincinnati --- Karen--at the time, I had no clue either! : 0 However, with some persistence and time, I sorted the problem out and found a cure. Now I'm waiting for my Nobel prize. I apologize--I should have emailed a better explanation to you. But thanks for all the other Good Stuff! (ie, drapery sites). You're a pal.
