Don't let friends alter your dress

This is an alteration for a client who is very short. She needed this dress shortened and originally had a friend try to to it. Notice the lump on the side and this blob.

Here it is now. I am going to professionally finish the hem after she tries it on again tomorrow. And remove the lump.

jeans hemming - not a problem

Jeans are pretty basic to hem.  Better than "self hemming" with tape, staples or glue!

So far this year

I was organizing yesterday after I finished making pants for a client. Here are the work orders so far this year. Each contains several outfits. And this does not include the clown clothes (remember that) and the medical vest I am currently working on for the UW. 

A moment to reflect - now back to sewing.

busy weekend ahead

Here are "before's" on.

1. A pile of curtains I will shorten

2. About 5 pants and 2 dresses that will be tailored.

3.  A pillow that I will repair

4.  A shirt my client cut down the front that I will turn into a cute little cardigan with a contrast facing.

 After photos coming at the end of this 3 day weekend.

swim suit alteration

First off - sorry for the absence. I have been sewing and altering stuff like crazy. No time to post! Burt here is a swimsuit alteration I did.  It turns out the length between bust and hip in the suit was way longer on the suit than on my client so there was very revealing baggage. She wanted over two inches taken out in the middle without a seam showing. Done! Now when she goes to the beach no seam and unintended parts of her showing.

could not alter here  because it would show

had to pull it up here

Voila!
