More work that needs to get done quickly

This is a new order I will be cutting and sewing next week. They are really cool hammocks and bags for a local company who is selling really well and needs more product asap

Getting ready to sew

I am super excited to get going on this order.  118 sweaters!  It is even more fun to work for a client when you love their product. I really like what they do and think there really is a great market for these.  I know I want one (or two . . .) Ebbets Field Flannels

Confession

I swear I never thought I would do this but I admit it, I am making a quilt!  Agg. My only excuse is that I got  new sewing machine with plenty of space to use and I got good deal on Force Awakens fabric. I promise, I will not become a quilter. But for the sake of The Force and The Empire, I must do it. Just this once.

Fur onto a hood

Do you wonder what it would look like to sew 3 raccoon tails together, chop about half of one side of them off and then try to sew that into a hood of a ready made jacket? Well here it is.  This was hard to do!  I had to splice the tails together which was not easy.   I, my sewing machine and work table were covered in hair.  I thought this would be easy, I was wrong. It was hard. But I go it done.

Doll repair almost done

The legs and shoes were beyond fixing so I made new ones. She needs a little touch up on her face then she will be done. I was careful to keep the original nature of it (the doll was made by my client's grandmother for her) but being sure it would last even longer.

Making pillow covers

I am excited to work for a return client. She is coming back for more covers for pillows and bolsters. I made some basic covers for her before and now she is inspired to design some more and get them made.

As you can see, the first order was pretty basic. But there is nothing wrong with that!

New client!

Yesterday I met with Ebbets Field Flannels about piece work.  What a great place. I love their product.   I am glad for this opportunity to work with a local business that makes such great stuff. Of course, I want to buy everything they sell.
