Custom embroidery on Handkerchief

 I recreated the "old" embroidery from a client's handkerchief using AI, digitized it then added it to some linen handkerchiefs we made.

Custom embroidery on Jacket

 My client did not want a normal name tag that was pinned on. He wanted his name directly embroidered onto his jacket in a font similar to Ford Logo.  We tested some fonts and sizes and came out with this.   He loved it.

Coronation watching pajama set

Making a matching set of pajamas for mother and daughter to watch coronation in.  They found fabric on Etsy and want to look royal and matching when they watch from their couch. The piping is a nice addition but is was hard to find!  I had to buy out the supply at Joanne's and Stitches.

Dress jacket alteration

 My client got this jacket off of Amazon for an event. He needed the shoulders and back taken in but did not want to spend the money for a "tailor perfect" alteration.  (Which would cost more than the jacket). So, I was able to make the changes and make them look good.






Dress shortening

 Shortened 2 dresses. My client just told me how much she wanted taken off, dropped then off and voila!  No fitting needed.  Used my cover stitch machine to duplicate hem on originals. Saved the cut off hem to use so to tie order up.

backpack zipper fix

This was a tough one. My client was a merchant sailor who was only in town for few days. The zipper on his favorite backpack broke. There was not time to shop for a zipper so I used something I had on my stash. It was superhard getting the zipper positioned and sewn because the fabric was very heavy,

But I did it and he sailed off with it.
