First Year as a Bridal Seamstress | Getting Clients, Setting up the Business, Finding Support with Marianne Maciejewski
So you want to be a bridal seamstress, but where do you start?
In this episode, I speak with Marianne Maciejewski, a bridal seamstress in Berks County, Pennsylvania.
When Marianne first thought about starting her bridal seamstress business, a lot of things seemed like big question marks - how do I run the business? How do I price my services? Who can I lean on for support? What she was missing was community - and so when she found Secrets of a Bridal Seamstress’s Online Membership, everything fell into place.
Marianne had been sewing for 35 years, and officially launched her business this year, so in this episode she shares her first hand emotions and insights about all things running a bridal seamstress business.
Topics discussed in this episode:
How Marianne started her business.
What day 1 looked like, vs where she is now.
How Marianne is growing her business and getting her name out there in Berks County.
Advice and resources for other seamstresses.
What benefits the Bridal Seamstress’s Online Membership has.
