Summer shirt


I am officially believing that we will have a summer this year and that sewing for it will not be a jinx. So here is my first entry, a vintage style shirt in eyelet fabric.  It will be cute when it is done.

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.

why hem when you can cuff?

 Instead of a regular hem my client had me put cuffs on his new dress pants at his length.

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.

Kate modified knock off done and out the door

 Well .... my client bought a super slinky and ravelly and stretchy to make a this dress.   It turned out really pretty and she will wear it as a bridesmaid.

Kate M. Like Dress - early stages

My client needs a bridesmaid dress to match the ties the groomsmen are wearing. She found the fabric and the style dress. Now I will make that happen. I am starting with a commercial pattern similar and will modify that.
