Rachels' News and Notes

FAQ's

All styles on the Rachels' web-site, except where noted, are drafted from many years of sewing experience. Patterns are not sold at this time.

Q. How do I measure my child's head circumference?
Using a measuring tape (in inches), measure just above the ears, around the head. This is the head circumference. Measure the same way when ordering an adult's hat/cap.

Q. Do you sew wholesale?
Not in large quantities. However, if you wish to place an order for a school play/event or similar, I will work with you and offer a discount on items made by Rachels'.

Q. Do you sew custom orders?
Most definately! I love to make custom orders when I am able to. See my Gallery Page. Please e-mail me first with a picture of what you want made, and I will reply back to you if it can be done. Custom orders in the past include:

Alterations of basic clothing

Equine Clothing, inc. repair and alterations

Home and Yacht curtains

Custom-made bedspreads

Plain and not-so plain (but modest) dresses for women and girls

Dance dresses and accessories

Costumes/period correct attire for historical plays and re-enactments.

Q. What is the time period from when I place my order to when it is mailed?
Different times of the year determine the turn-around time. For example, a month before Easter is the busiest, along with October thru December. Busy times require up to four weeks. Usually the summer months are slower and I can usually mail an order within two weeks. If you do need your item by a certain time, please do let me know in an e-mail.

Q. Do you ship overseas?
Yes, only to democratic countries (Canada, England, Australia, Netherlands, Sweden, etc...). However, some countries have a Customs Tax that you will need to pay before you receive your item. Please check to see if your country has this tax.

Q. How many years have you been sewing?
Since a young girl...Over 30 years. Professionally for over 15 years.

Q. Do you sew Copyrighted Patterns?
I do not sew for re-sale from copyrighted patterns, or patterns designated 'For home sewing only; not for commercial purposes.' Rachels' adheres to 'Ethical Sewing' guidelines. If an individual has a purchased pattern and would like a specific item made, I will sew from the purchased pattern and mail back with the completed item.
