Commission FAQ
Here at Mitchell Weaves, I believe textiles are an intimate part of your everyday life. I want to help make your home or space as comfortable and unique as possible. Fabrics are with us from the moment we are born and throughout our whole lives in many forms. Clothing and Interior fabrics are what many think of at first, but the scope of textiles is much wider. Accessories, blankets, towels, bags, jewelry, wall hangings and more can be textile products and that list can be much more extensive. Utilitarian or aesthetic, I am here for you. I am open to just about any product you could throw at me and if we don’t have the expertise or experience to complete a project to the best of our ability, we will try to help you get in touch with someone who does.
Timeline
The timeline of any custom textile project depends heavily on the scope of the project and what materials are required. Dying, weaving, sewing, and washing all take time and patience to perfect. During our initial design meetings, we will try to be as upfront and honest about the time required and will notify you of any changes in the timeline.
Materials
Most custom projects require us to order specific materials that are suitable for whatever the end use may be. We believe in sustainability and keeping the earth in tip top shape the best we can. We love to use natural renewable fibers as often as possible. The cost of materials is the sole responsibility of the client. we will organize a price sheet for you of a range of options and provide explanations of every option. Once materials are decided we will handle the ordering and get to work as soon as possible.
Pricing
To get the process started, we will have an initial meeting to discuss the overall concept and idea for your project. if you would like to proceed with the project, there will be an initial $75.00 design fee and the cost of materials needed upfront. Once materials have been finalized and received, we will get to work and keep you updated on progress and any changes that may need to be made on a weekly basis. For most projects, $20.00 Per is our standard rate for manufacturing. For larger projects, we will address cost on a case by case basis but be assured that we will price our work as fairly as possible.
