Bike case zipper/tear

This is one of those things you don't know how to fix.  My client had a beautiful bike case that had ripped fabric near the zipper.  It was raveling like crazy and he did not know what to do.  It was really expensive and you hate to throw it away. So I looked it and figured out  way to fix it.

You can hardly even tell it was torn.

New client

I am going to be making clown clothes now.  Charles the Clown needs some new duds.  This will be fun.

Little wedding suit

This is an alteration I did for a little dude's wedding outfit. Shortened sleeves and legs. The hardest part was the fitting. He was not into it.

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.
