Not "knocking off" but "being inspired by"

My client loves these jeans but can't find them in the stores anymore, so I am making pattern to make her a new pair.  These will fit better and may have some additional style points

custom box pillow covers - done.

From drop off of fabric and foam to finished product.  My client needed zippered cover of foam for 2 custom cushions. She had fabric and foam. I told her what else she needed and she got it and dropped it off.

Almost done

I just need to meet with my client for final fitting and hemming. I love these.  I wish they were mine.  These will be perfect for any event where you want to wear something pretty and comfortable (and with an elastic back in case you eat a lot).

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

Talk about close call. There was less than 1" left on the fabric to lay this out. I had to lay it cross wise because of the beautiful pattern. But look how good it looks just on the dress form.


This is the pic from the pattern cover.

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.
