Frequently Asked Questions

Do you do custom orders?
Yes, please visit the Custom page and let's see what I can create for you.
I have fabric I want to use for my custom order.
No problem. Ship the fabric to me (I'm in San Diego) and I will reduce the final price a bit. You pay to ship the fabric to me. The amount of fabric I need from you depends on what item you are ordering.

Custom orders take about 2 weeks to complete plus shipping time (usually 2-5 days).

I charge you what the post office charges me. This is based on distance and weight and size. Most items ship for $5-$10.
Do you ship internationally?
