Wedding in one month

This will be less stress and easier to do because the waist, shoulder and bust alterations she needs are not due until one month from now.  I can do rush things but the more time I get, the better.  Bonus points to this client!




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.
