Hello,

My name is Tanya and I'm trying to start my own clothing line. I can't draw or sew but I have great ideas in my head that I need someone to draw and execute for me.

If you know of a manufacturer in Illinois, please be so kind as to inform me so that I can sit down and talk with them. I also need information on a small business grant to help enhance my business. Currently, I will start out small but looking to expand within 2 years.

All response would be helpful.

If you are seeking a manufacturer - try searching for trade organziations first - they will list many resources for you.

In terms of grants - there are not many grant resources for 'for-profit' businesses - we do list some resources on our website.

hi tanya.
use your local yellow pages to look for a C.M.T. place. these cut -make-trim people very often are way cheaper than if you did it all yourself.
check with your local discount fabric supplier.
it you are really stuck, i probably could help from this end of the world.
remember if you are paying in south african rands you would be getting something for a lot less investment, but the quality could still be maintained.
in fact i could get you a "consultant" that was a lecturer at a local (johannesburg) university lecturing in clothing design.
let me know if you need help from here.
