Hey everyone!
I am looking for an apprentice. I have decided that in order
to produce the quality of product that has become the brand of LoveMich then I
will have to train someone to have the type of attention to detail and passion that
I do.
You do not need to have an extensive knowledge of sewing as
I had originally thought I would need in an assistant. Actually, the opposite seems like it will
make more sense. If you are learning from the get-go the way that I do things
at LoveMich then we aren't breaking old habits and trying to re-learn something
in a different way than you are used to.
Here is the nitty-gritty of it: I will teach you to sew
LoveMich products consistent with the way I do them myself and with the same quality
and pride in the end result, in exchange you are learning knowledge of sewing
accessories that normally you would be paying at least $50 a class for. After a
few weeks if we both agree that you can handle sewing our products on your own
with the same attention to detail and care that I do, then you will be compensated
at a per-piece rate from that point forward.
Yes, I am particular and it is very important to me that my
sewing assistant has the same need for perfection and quality results as the
LoveMich community has become accustomed to and the brand that we represent.
So – if you have a passion for the handmade community, you
want to learn how to sew the way LoveMich does, you have a schedule that mirrors
mine (I usually have time to sew nights and weekends) and you aren't afraid of
a large snuggly puppy and a stuffed sewing room…then apply to be my new apprentice. Either Inbox me on Facebook or Email me : michelle (at) ilovemich (dot) com
Also – I have to say a little disclaimer here…if you write
me and say “this sounds like fun!” I want you to really really think about this opportunity. Yes, it will be fun at times,
but this is hard work and sometimes very frustrating. So if you want to do this just to learn how
to sew and think it is going to be all sunshine and rainbows, I have to tell
you, it’s not as glamorous as it seems. The end result is very gratifying but
it is important that my apprentice has a passion for creating things rather
than viewing this as a hobby.
