You might ask what has made this company so successful after only five years. Much of the company’s success comes about by providing a niche service within the small business clothing and sewn products industry. “Most sewing contractors are reluctant or just refuse altogether work with startup companies, because of the typically small production numbers that they require to get started“ said, Chris Sutter, of Left In Stitches, Inc. Chris Sutter is the founder and CEO of Left In Stitches, Inc. and has been working in the textile and apparel business professionally for over 28 years. Chris said,” even as a child I was taught how to use patterns and sew all my own dresses and much of my clothing”. This CEO is no armchair executive. Her talents are still at work with assisting in much of the hands on work and overseeing most all of the projects from their concept to the production process. In part, some of Left In Stitches, Inc. success in providing a niche service for small businesses appears to be due to the fact that so much of the apparel manufacturing industry in the United States has chosen to outsource their employee labor to overseas contractors. Yet, those that still exist here tend to require large capacity orders and are not full service oriented. Steadily since 2002 and due to the success and business growth of Left In Stitches, Inc., the company has increased to 16 full-time employees and is presently seeking out a much larger facility and staff to accommodate the ever increasing flurry of phone calls and online work requests. Left In Stitches, Inc is a Women Owned Sewing Contractor incorporated business. X X X
