“Is it not just thread and lining?” 😩
Sometimes, as a fashion designer, you hear things that make you wonder if the person really understands what goes into creating that outfit.
“Madam, why is it this price? Is it not just thread and lining?”
Honestly, if sewing clothes was just about thread and lining, maybe things would be much easier. 😂
But when you pay me to make your outfit, you’re not just paying for the thread, lining or fabric.
You’re paying for my time.
The hours spent taking your measurements, drafting, cutting, sewing, fitting and making adjustments.
You’re paying for my knowledge.
Years of learning how fabrics behave, how to achieve the right fit, how to structure an outfit and how to turn an idea in your head into something you can actually wear.
You’re paying for my expertise.
The experience that helps me know what will work and what won’t before I even touch the fabric.
And let’s not forget the countless mistakes, sleepless nights, practice and money I invested to become good at what I do today.
So please, when you see the price of a well-made outfit, don’t look only at the thread and lining.
Look at the hands that turned them into something beautiful. 🧵✂️
At Pepever Stitches, I don’t just sew clothes.
I create pieces with skill, time, precision and love.
And yes, that has value. ❤️
