My client loves vintage designer dresses. But lots of times they don't fit because she is busty. For this dress, we altered it by adding a ribbon as an insert to the bodice side seam.

Zipper replacement
It is hard to find pants that fit right and a total pain when the zipper breaks. You cannot fix thing like this, you need to replace the zipper. It is especially hard when the zipper was installed decorative stitching. Here is a before and after for a cute pair of jeans I worked on for a client. You really can't tell that I took her old zipper out and put a new one in.

Cushion recover
My client brought me an old cushion with a cover she was tired of and a piece of blue fabric she had laying around. Voila! A cool blue cover makes an old cushion look new.

matching dress - mine
This is a dress I am making 2 of. One for me in the bright print and one for a friend in a more relaxed colorway. I think it will be fun to wear in September so I will get them done - today.

Custom Shirt re-make
My client has been wearing this shirt to shreds (almost) and wants more out of various fabric. So, this trooper is about to be turned into a pattern and made in a variety of fabrics. Great way to get what you like in different versions.
