Getting there
Pockets cut and front parts sewn on. Front pleats made. Thankfully the patterns line up. Not easy when I had to cut each front and back piece separately. And the brains of the operation - my sewing machine

cutting is the hardest part

busy day
Today I am working on making a similiar (OK, a copy) pant for a client and helping a different client with a pattern she had made in Taiwan but is having issues with the vendor on. And I am watching the RED HOT Seattle Mariners and one of my dogs and my husband in the background.
custom pillow covers
My client needs covers for 2 box pillows. She was going to try it herself first but she ended up coming to me. Sewing a square seems so simple until you realize it is not just a square. This will end up being lovely custom covers. Stay tuned.

what to do when the your client wants a "subtle" patch
put a modest skinny patch under it, glue it then put seam tape. Then fix the hole and after that, color the loose threads from the hole with ink from a matching sharpie.
More crafting than sewing but it works.

zipper repair
This was tough. It is Samsonite Hard Case with a waterproof zipper and the zipper had come totally of the tape. I had to do a little surgery to the lining to get to the zipper ends. But I did it.
