Thank you for stopping by calicodaisy handmade and considering my work for your custom orders.

CDHmade Turnaround Time:

It is my hope and plan to keep to a 4-5 week turnaround but reality is that I run at about 6 weeks turnaround now. I am just one person working in my studio and wear all the hats of business. As my business increases, many more inquires are made and new design issues and skills must be considered and tackled. The more questions asked and details worked out, my sewing schedule gets bumped back a bit. Along with running the business, real life happens, too. If I have to be away from the studio unexpectedly or take yet another fabric shopping trip, there isn't anyone else to carry on while I'm out.

Each custom order is given the same consideration of time, design, and sewing. If your order is complicated or if orders ahead of yours take extra time to work through, the timeline changes. Sales ebb and flow each month, so every projected turnaround time date moves along with whatever is required for maintaining sales.

I spend a lot of time worrying over the above situations, but that is the life of an entrepreneur and home-based business. I give 110% (and more!) to keeping my business running and preparing for growth and change that will inevitably happen every few months.

It is my hope that the quality of your finished custom items and the affordable pricing will keep you at peace while you wait – maybe longer than expected – for your calicodaisy handmade item.
