A Misplaced Truth about Handmade

Misplaced Truth About Handmade

By Victoria of Designs By Victoria

There seems to be a misconception that handmade = cheap. This is, in fact, usually the reverse. Items that are hand-crafted by local artists are actually likely to be a bit more expensive than similar items found in stores or at large online retailers. I’ve worked in the manufacturing industry as a full-time job for over six years while running my business part time on the side, so that gives me a little more perspective on the ins and outs.

Do you have a sewing project gone awry? Ready to start a dress, but can't figure out the pattern? Learned to sew years ago and have a 1/2 finished project gathering dust? This class is for you. As a small group, we will focus on problem solving, removing obstacles, and learning new tricks. Bring a new project or a work in progress - you'll receive guidance and encouragement to overcome hurdles you have run into while working on your current project or while sewing in the past.
