About our Made to Order/Custom Slots

Our sewing team has been feverishly working out the details for when we will begin taking new 'made to order"/custom orders and we have not yet set a date as to when we will be re-opening these slots.

We are also busy with a pending move into our new design studio projected in the next couple of weeks and we will probably wait until that move is complete before doing so.

Meanwhile, we are busy with keeping our In-Stock/Ready to ship inventory stocked with some great fabrics that we need to clear out before our big move.

Also on our minds is the upcoming new Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) that goes into effect on Feb 10, 2009. We are trying to determine if our product falls under this new law and what steps we need to take to comply. For more information, here are few helpful links.

CPSC

The way the current law is written, it's all very confusing and crazy, if you ask me. I agree with protecting our children and agree with the basic concept of the idea. However, there are so many flaws and it's going to drive so many small businesses under.

With all of this hanging over our heads, we have not purchased any new fabrics and have asked our fabric vendors to hold our recent orders of new fabrics that we pre-ordered at Market in Oct., until we have a better idea of what our plans are.

Thank you for every one's patience and understanding. Please stay tuned for more information. We will update every one with a new post soon.
