Not only that, its hitting us all in the pocket too. Less business and rising costs. Not a good situation Well the good news is that because we employ our own sewing machinists here in the mill our prices are not rising as much as imported items. They are paid in sterling not dollars, yuan, rupees or euros. This makes a major part of the cost – wages - the same as it was before the fall in sterling . Our overheads are also in sterling. Although our raw material cost has gone up the other costs remain the same and that helps you, our customer. Assess what you need for the next 6 months, let us know what you might need and place a contract AT A FIXED PRICE. That way you don't need to worry about your costs rising even further. 39 Fri, 6 Feb 2009 15:54:00 GMT http://www.textilepeople.co.uk/news/2009/february/fixed-price-order-now-before-sterling.html Isn't it sad to watch the poor old _ being reduced to a laughing stock.

John Bidecker from a small town in Kansas, wears his apron as a living moving advert - a little like the people who used to wear a sandwich board in the 1950s. John says that folks come up and peer at the logo on the apron then ask him the location.

Overheads have increased too because of the massive increase in fuel prices. Are we in for a higher rate of inflation? The official rate does not reflect the reality. 30 Thu, 15 May 2008 15:01:00 GMT http://www.textilepeople.co.uk/news/2008/may/subscribe-to-our-newsletter.html Get the latest textile news from us with innovative products and information... 27 Thu, 15 May 2008 14:53:00 GMT http://www.textilepeople.co.uk/news/2008/may/new-apron-design.html We are delighted to introduce our latest line of Flag Aprons... 26 Thu, 15 May 2008 14:45:00 GMT http://www.textilepeople.co.uk/news/2008/may/new-colleagues.html Sewing machinists Janet & Jean joined the Textile People team this week to expand our sewing capacity.
