One of the most asked questions I hear is: How do you block your time?

The second most common question: How many brides do you take per month?

The fun part about our industry is that everyone has a different answer. We each have found (or are still trying to find) the perfect balance between work and relaxing time off. Whether bridal sewing is your full time gig, or a side hustle to bring in vacation money, balancing your sewing and fitting time is key! It’s always so helpful for me to hear how my peers get it all done, and I wanted to share my own scheduling tips in case you’d like to use them too! 

This episode is meant to help you think outside the box, and remind you that you have permission to configure a schedule that serves you and your lifestyle. We prioritize what’s important to us, right? My system may sound crazy to you, but it’s been a huge blessing to me and my work/home balance. Since switching to this system, I’ve been able to truly prioritize what’s important to me, without sacrificing quality work (and my cash flow!)

As much as I enjoy my current schedule, I’ll be open to switch it up as needed. That’s the beauty of working for ourselves, right? 

Let me know if this week on/week off routine sounds fun to you. And if you have a flow that’s already working super well for you and your fam- tell me in the comments below! It’s important to share with others that there’s a way to keep a healthy balance in this unique industry!
