News from the studio.
Notes from the workroom on Burch Rd — booking deadlines worth knowing about, what is on the tables, and things we have learned the hard way.
When to book your wedding dress alterations
How long wedding dress alterations really take, how many fittings you need, and why eight to twelve weeks before the day is the right time to come in.
What a pattern room can do that a counter cannot
Why reconstruction work needs a pattern studio rather than a sewing counter, and what that means for garments other shops have already refused.
Low minimums on tote bags, aprons and uniforms
Why most promotional suppliers need hundreds of units, and how a working production studio in Kent can make small branded runs of bags, aprons, tunics and t-shirts instead.
Stay home and help the NHS
In spring 2020 J&O Studio made uniforms for NHS hospital staff and sent them free of charge. A thank-you to the NHS and every key worker.
