E-comm, made-to-measure womenswear. Doing it all myself including production.

I do: designing, patterning, product testing, customer service, Shopify design and management, sewing, photography, photo editing, copy, social media, and marketing.

I’ve hired a friend as an assistant this month as a trial to see if it would be worth bringing a studio assistant on. So far they’re still in a training period but my god my life is 100x better now.

My only issue is I don’t have a ton of business savings yet as I’ve just become profitable, so I don’t necessarily want to take someone on part-time without 3 months of their salary saved up in the event of lean times. Is that standard practice? I’ve never hired on an employee so I’m wondering how you all handle it.
