Just some recent photos of work I have done. A lot of western boots, zippers in everything. I stock a large selection of zippers…..hemming and patching jeans, have had a lot of ladies heels and putting new bottoms on Birkenstocks, and still redo work boots and build ups if needed. Sewing patches on vests and coats, and shirts….and last photo is having a little fun with some leather, and a pair of jeans for a great friend who hit the 50 mark. Finishing up my final Queen sashes. Thanks everyone.
Getting outside is great to work in my yard, get my horses shaped up and play some golf and heading for Montana this year. 😊

Took advantage of a beautiful day to get some boots and shoes done. Lots of coats and coveralls for new zippers…. Hemming jeans, patches on coats and vests… somewhat selective as to repairs.. working on Queen sashes for 2026, and recovering an old rocker I’ve had… photos when done.
Rather be riding my horse… but lots of time for that. Ground is soft ……

Busy with boots, and new leather straps and conditioning and cleaning purses. Been putting a lot of new bottoms on Birkenstocks and did a pair of Keen boots.
Coats are starting to be dropped off for new zippers. I put them in jeans, coveralls, heavy carhart coats, purse, sweatshirts, ( and more irems) and plenty of zippers on hand in many colors and lengths.. and as always, I do alterations and patching ( if jeans are worth saving)
I’m still doing cobbler work…..just took my shop home… 😊
