got some ideas off instagram and I wanna know if I can find someone who I can trust to execute it accurately. nothing THAT crazy but I have asian hair and it’s not the typical natural highlight or balayage I see in the google reviews of most places right now. price isn’t a concern i’d rather not have to shave my head after

I’m a seamstress and I occasionally get customers who want to add elbow patches to a suit to cover some damage in the area. It’s one of few things we dont provide in store because it’s not a frequent request, but a lot of them ask what to buy and I have no idea. I can answer from a seamstress pov what material works with our machines or what we think looks good with the fabric etc but many ask if the patch will make dry cleaning the suit an issue. I’ve always told them to ask beforehand and to save the label, but I was wondering if there was something I should be telling customers to look out for when buying a patch. I’d hate to steer someone wrong and I just had a guy come in today so I hope I can follow up with him before we get started on the order
