Who am I you ask:
Well, you might already know a little bit about me if you found this page, but its also highly likely that you have no idea who I am; otherwise this page would not be necessary.
y name is Christopher Decker, and in the most simple way to put it; I make stuff. From an education standpoint I am an Apparel graduate from Seattle Central Community College. I graduated in 2010 with a strong love of motorcycle and technical apparel but initially got into sewing doing costume work. I have currently been sewing for more then eight years now. Also due to my own interests and current job I work quite a bit with wood and metal, and although I am nowhere as experienced and skilled in these medians, I do like to practice these skills when I can. I love to design and make furniture for myself and friends as well as chop apart and fabricated my motorcycle to the best of my abilities.
've always worked by word of mouth and I myself have never really been one to go about claiming my own work until recently. So who knows, maybe you have seen my work at a con, or on the internet. Maybe you are here because of Google, a friend; or you could just be looking at the lovely people on my page. Regardless of the reason enjoy your look around. If you like something let me know. Want to know how I did something? I'd be more then willing to try and explain or even show you in person if ever possible.
I'm also a huge nerd and love nothing more then to spend a nice day on my bike and then on the couch to play some video games. Huge fan of Megaman/Zero, TypeMoon, Gundam, One Ok Rock and way to many things to list; big nerd here. I love going outside to camp with friends and to go hike and see more new places of my own home.
Do I take commissions:
I do take commissions, however I only accept commissions that interest me. A garment that I have no interest in will not get as much sweat and blood as one that makes me excited. That being said I take commissions for more then just clothes depending on situation. I can do prop work as well as wood work, but am limited by seasonal and weather conditions depending on the piece. Do you want your own designed clothing made? I like doing that kind of work as well. Seeing someone happy with what I make for them is worth more then the money I get (I still like money though). I prefer working with local people, because if you are in the area I will do fitting sessions to make sure you look damn good.
You are always welcome to email me about commissions, the worst i can say is "no" or "haha no......"
How much do I charge:
This is a hard question to answer people as every single costume varies because of difficulty nd doing specific techniques I don't like. Generally I prefer to do costumes by job rather then hour with a base price and additional after an estimated time which is typically only when something becomes much more troublesome then expected. I always work with a customer before hand to give them an idea of costs. I'm not the most expensive, however my work is not cheap either.
