Library Journal Review

Sykes has created a guide that enables the home sewer to combine management skills and creative talents into a home-based sewing business. The assumption here is that one already is proficient at sewing. The author offers a broad range of suggestions, tips, and guidelines, ranging from evaluating personal assets and skills and setting up a sewing office to developing and managing a business plan and overcoming emotional roadblocks. Chapters detail client interaction, time management, record keeping, and advertising. Sewers will find invaluable the specialized sample forms, including consultation/work and consignment agreements, pattern adjustment checklists, project worksheets, and price lists based on time and motion studies. This is a useful handbook for developing a custom sewing service.-- Judith Yankielun Lind, Roseland Free P.L., N.J. (c) Copyright 2010.
