not perfect but at least it works

This is a purse/backpack thing my client wanted fixed. Unfortunately, the zipper would have to be replaced and it was not worth it for that item. So I fixed the straps and sewed the zipper in a way that it would be an open bag on one side of the bag and at least look ok.

Embroidery saves the day

My friends son got married yesterday. Instead of something generic I customized a blanket for him and his wife. Here is a photo of putting their wedding date on fleece.

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).

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
