blob of fabric will be going to hawaii as dresses

My client has an old dress she likes and is going to Hawaii in a few weeks. I am going to make this fabric into 3 dresses that will be the same style.  I will get her approval on the choices I make but it will be fun to do some creativity for her.

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.
