Seeking advice on a big project
Hi everyone!
I have quite a few skirts that need repairs. Most are from the Cotton Flower brand (they unfortunately went out of business). The elastic waist bands all need redone and seem to be very complex. Those skirts are all 100% cotton aside from the little bands.
Some cotton skirts have a small hole in them, not in a seam. I have no idea how to fix that.
The other skirts are not cotton and just need a slight hem or the bottom panel needs taken off for height.
I also wanted to put in a liner for two of the skirts.
I tried to do it myself, but I'm not experienced enough and I LOVE these skirts and don't want to mess them up.
I want to help support someone with a small business and hire them to do the work.
What should I expect to pay? I don't mind what it is, I just don't want to be taken advantage of. I'm kind of easy to take advantage of, especially if I don't know anything.
I'm also open to any ideas about how to keep the look of the Cotton Flower skirts and the waist, but maybe make it more sustainable so I don't have to do a big repair too often. I wear the HELL out of these. I'm the bitch that hitches my skirts up in the waist band and gets in the dirt to plant a tree lol I do need the waists to hold a bit stronger.
Thank you sooooo much in advance for any help! I'm excited to be able to wear these again and to support someone with a big project like this!
*don't mind the obscene amount of cat hair lol I have included a picture of the guilty party in exchange for assistance
