My seamstress is old-school. . She puts her heart in every item she makes. There are no shortcuts. Sometimes we argue during the production process. For example, I tried to convince her that it's ok to make a boppy cover with a design oriented sideways. Many people do it. Why shouldn't we? We would save some fabric this way. But she wouldn't budge. Creating something you are not proud of, something you wouldn't make for yourself is not right, and she stands firmly by this principle. I deeply respect that! And I am so lucky to have someone so caring about our brand and our quality! Maya - you rock!
