-
What kind of projects do you take on?Since my time is limited, I only take on projects that are a good fit for my skillset and interests. I enjoy working on pattern development projects with established small-medium brands with a focus on sustainability, vintage inspired styles, and/or gender neutral offerings. I can offer pattern development only or the creation of a whole package including sample and tech pack. I also occasionally create bespoke costume pieces for performers and wearable pieces for artists.
-
Are you open to trades or payment plans?Sometimes. If you have financial need, I am occasionally able to offer hourly skill/labor trades to offset a portion of project cost. If a trade is arranged, you'll have the option of either workshare hours at Patchwork Community Craft or your own professional services as needed (eg: landscaping, social media/marketing support, pet care, massage, etc) Payment plans can also be arranged as needed.
