CURRENT PRODUCTION STATUS UPDATES

Welcome to our Production Status Page! Most shops do not offer this much of a detailed status update, but we’re happy to be able to provide even more updates to our customers on this page so you can see the timing better.

This site is the very best way to check for updates. If you email or message in to ask for an update, you will likely receive the same information as seen on this page and we will refer you to this website for the updates. Thank you for your understanding.

Why I am not able to provide EVEN more of a detailed update at times…

I have 2 seamstresses who work for me and we all share a production app, which is so fantastic! My seamstresses usually have your fabric in their workroom for a few weeks before it shows up on the list below. Once they mark the app as “in sewing/working on it” then I know I can update this page. Once in a while, my seamstresses do not update the app right away, so it may in fact be actually in sewing but she did not update the app yet. Once I find out a status update here, I update the website. Thank you for your patience.

(CHECK BACK EVERY FEW DAYS OR ONCE A WEEK FOR UPDATES)

This is NOT a list of ALL of our outstanding orders (we have hundreds outstanding, usually. This is only a list of the CURRENT and NEXT batches of orders to go into production.

REASONS WHY CUSTOM WORKROOMS CANNOT GIVE EXACT ETAS…

The reasons why a custom workroom of any sort (window treatments, bedding, furniture, cushions etc) is a little different than some other industries is that each job is very different and one single thing can possibly cause a delay. For instance, if an order is a little intricate or someone has 20 shades in their one order and they’re all huge, or we are doing a large cushion order with piping, curtains with pinch pleat and trim or wide shades with ribbon details etc. These are all handmade, so nothing is made exactly the same weekly. Every job is very different and some more detailed than others. Some fabric is harder to work with and some patterns tough to match. Sometimes we make a small mistake and have to fix it before shipping it out. Sometimes we get sick or have the flu and cannot work for a few days. We’re a small workroom and do not have a replacement if someone is ill one week. So there are a lot of reasons why week to week, we cannot give an exact ETA. If you need your shade BY a particular date, you must let us know prior to ordering so we can make a note of it or offer a rush fee option. Please be kind.. we do our best here and do not want to rush any order to risk making a mistake. We will always try to keep you in the loop via this status page and if you’re order seems to be VERY delayed, please don’t hesitate to reach out to be sure everything is alright with the order.

*Scroll to bottom to make sure your fabric is not listed on the “unclaimed fabric/no name on label.” BEGIN TO CHECK LIST AROUND WEEK 5 AFTER PAYING FOR YOUR ORDER. CHECK AS OFTEN AS YOU’D LIKE AND WAIT FOR NAME TO SHOW ON LIST.

If you have not made a payment yet, your order will not go into production. All orders need to be paid first, upfront, in order to get into the production line.

Here at Sew Lovely, we are a very small team of a seamstress, a shade constructor/shop owner, and an assistant. We currently produce about 160 shades per month, and our prices are very fair compared to some other places, therefore the longer timeframes. The timeframe is roughly 8 weeks from time of order. Some times we do get delayed due to unforeseen circumstances. The biggest delay we will encounter is if your name was not properly labelled on your fabric, as per the instructions we sent for mailing the fabric, so we may not know whose fabric it is for a while If you have a particular important date you must have the shades by, please let us know when you place the order, so we can try to see if we can make an exception and meet your deadline. We usually are not able to provide exact dates of shipping in advance due to many variables with custom production each week, but you may check back around that 8 week mark for further updates. All of fabric arrives at my house (Kelly). When my seamstress drops off the sewn orders, I then hand her off the “next up for sewing” fabrics. She sews the shades, hands them back to me and we then construct them (wood on top, hardware etc) at my home workshop. I then ship them out from my workroom in New Jersey.

Below, you will see the names of the customers who’s orders are now in production and are up next for production. Production of each batch of 60 shades from start to finish usually takes about 10 days (from sewing to construction to shipping out UPS Ground). We send tracking information with your paid invoice, once we ship your package out.

There are 3 phases of the production process for ROMAN SHADES. Curtains and cushions only have one phase (sewing).

If your name isn’t on any of the lists, please check back when it’s been about 5-6 weeks since you placed the order. If more than 8 weeks have gone by and you are still not on any of the lists, please message us to be sure we received your order.
