Where do you live? I help a friend of mine when she's doing shows, and I don't mind the plain stuff. Sharon

My biggest daydream is to have someone to do the plain sewing. I love the designing, the research, the patterning and even the initial cutting and testing a garment. After I have it figured out, I don't want to do the sewing. I love the finishing, especially fine details, but I'd love to have someone to do the boring parts. I am actually looking into working with one of the local trade schools to have a student on an internship to do this. There are certain tax breaks for their wages, and some other benefits, as well as getting the work done. I think I might be able to swing this next year. Other than that, I want a bigger studio, or perhaps a separate room for the cutting, since my current studio handles the rest just fine. Oh, and the fibromyalgia and arthritis could go away, too.
