Custom-Made For You by Me.
Flewtstrings started out as a business making all things custom for its customers. I would create a design and people would select a color(s) for their custom-made replica. I would also make ideas become a reality by creating one-of-a-kind custom items for many customers. That was always fun for me because we had to start from scratch: ideas went from a description to a 2D design which then had to be engineered into a pattern and finally sewn into a 3D piece! Such a fun and fulfilling process!
These days I use a different method of making and selling: I create and design items and then put those exact creations up for sale in my shop on Etsy. Several customers have a hard time “seeing the forest through the trees” and would assume purchase exactly what they see, so this method of business works better for many people. Plus it keeps me ahead of my work instead of behind it like custom-orders seem to do sometimes.
However, I write all this to tell you that my days of custom work are not over. Although you may not see much custom-work online, most of my business comes from custom orders from friends & acquaintances. Everything from baby gear to t-shirt quilts, home-decor textiles to custom-made clothing, I’m your gal. I’ll make that dream of yours into a reality. All you have to do is ask. I’ll tell you if your project or idea can’t be done, but rest assured that I’ve never had to tell anyone that before. I like a challenge. I like to test my design-skill. And I love to make customers happy. You have an idea? Let’s make it happen.
