ARE YOUR
COSTUMES FOR SALE?
I'm flattered you like
them, but the costumes on my galleries are my personal wardrobe, not
for sale or rent at this time.
DO
YOU DO CUSTOM DESIGN?
I no longer do custom sewing for
either local or distant customers. Instead I teach design and sewing
through my how-to books. I also do
custom graphic
design.
DO
YOU DO DESIGN CONSULTATION?:
If you email me a full length photo
and your preferences, I can design and sketch a costume ensemble with
sewing details and samples of materials. A local costume-maker can
do the construction. E-mail me to price a personal design consultation.
CAN
YOU HELP ME FIND CLASSES?
Goddess or not, I couldn't possibly
know where you can find a job, a seamstress or a teacher in your town
thousands of miles from mine! Try
Shira's Directory
for local information.
CAN
YOU EXPLAIN HISTORICAL COSTUMES?
I am not an historian of Middle Eastern
dress. I'm afraid I can't tell you how to wrap a turban, authentic
14th century Moroccan style for your SCA event. You may find useful
articles at the historical sites on my links
page.
I NEED SEWING and DESIGN ADVICE...
I AM known for dishing out free advice
(time permitting) but when asking a stranger for a favor, a "please"
and a "thank you" don't hurt, hm?
And if the question is "I know nothing, can you tell me everything?"
don't be surprised if I refer you to my books,
which have all the answers...
