Design Process

Reaching out  Please contact me via email at amy@adardesigns.com  or use the form on  this website. 

Initial Phone Call  This is your opportunity to share your vision for your project and learn about options for integrating these into your tallit or chuppah.  This call will allow me to prepare ideas and materials for your Design Session.

Design Session  Your design session may be in person, by telephone or via Zoom. Typically, this will last 1-1.5 hours. Options to customize your tallit include any or all of the following:

·       Fabric and overall design

·       Attarah (neckband) Text

·       Embroidery/ Design Motif

·       Corner details

·       Intentions

·       Bag and Lining

·       Incorporating meaningful textiles from your family (wedding gown, family tallit etc.)

Lead time  The ideal lead time is 6-9 months. Exceptions may be possible based on my current project schedule. Each tallit or chuppah requires dedicated time and attention and may require additional time to locate specialized fabrics. For Bar/Bat Mitzvah tallitot, it is recommended to integrate the tallit design process with the process of studying and preparing for the service. 

Working with heirloom fabrics; It is an honor to work with your family fabrics.  To ensure the best result, please ship fabrics that have been laundered or dry cleaned. If shipping a wedding gown that has been preserved, please remove the gown from all of the packing materials. If possible, to reduce the bulk for shipping please snip the tulle (petticoat netting) carefully from under the skirt. If you have questions about this process, please feel free to reach out and I can help you determine the best approach.
