What will it cost?

Good question! The answer depends on several factors, including: complexity of the design, material costs, pattern making, finishing details and the level of your involvement in the design and making process. The best way to find out is to contact Polbymade and arrange for a complimentary consultation and quote.

Can I have something made from a store bought pattern?

Of course! Using a commercial pattern will save time and reduce the cost. Bear in mind that small alterations to the fit will probably need to be made. Major design alterations to the pattern will take time and add to the cost.

What should I know before I contact you?
