Want to share a little update, if you missed it before.

My 2026 calendar is FULL for wedding gown alterations! I do have time to sneak some robes in though!

I’m ready to begin a “new” adventure. While my love for sewing and creating unique pieces carry on, I want to jump more into wedding/bridal trends. I love a good dress makeover and these robes check off my sewing and creating boxes!

So, let’s UNBOX THAT DRESS!! How special for mom to pass her wedding gown on to her daughter, updated into a “get ready” robe to wear on her wedding day! And if you’re a mom thinking “I have sons, no daughters”, let’s make a robe for YOU to enjoy!

It’s time to turn the page, time for the next chapter. I’m shifting my focus a bit!

I have loved joining brides on their wedding journey and I will continue to do it but in a different way! There is a new bridal trend that really speaks to me, and if you know me, you know I love a good wedding gown makeover! To future brides: unbox your mother’s wedding gown!! Let’s make a robe for you to wear(from her gown), while you are getting ready on your wedding day!! My first will be shared among 5 daughters🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷 tell me your thoughts on this trend and my first project(pics below). I’m looking forward to many more, each one will be unique and one of a kind!💕

Over the last couple of years, I’ve been helping at church, making quilts that are donated to charities for people in need. I’ve really come to love this as it’s a break from the tedious concentration and perfection required for wedding gown alterations😂 I’ve also stepped up, into a bigger role at church. Our church ladies make every graduating senior a quilt and I will be taking over these projects as well, with supervision my first year😂 I’m very excited to do this also, as I’ve made a handful of quilts for my family and really enjoyed it!

All of that being said….. (the sad part😭) I won’t have time for all of the brides and other formals. I do have a handful of brides for 2026 but I’m ready to switch my focus to robes and quilts!!

I know, I know. I can hear you, WHY????
Sewing, believe it or not, is hard on your body. Sitting long days hunched over a machine causes a lot of issues. I want to focus on me and my health. I want to spend more time with my daughter, whenever she’s available. And I’m sure I’ll be seen helping on the farm more(with hubby & son)! 🚜 🌾 🐄

I deeply treasure so many of my past brides, bridesmaids, and prom girls💕 some of the best connections and friends I have, came to me with a dress!👗

It's not very often that my sewing space is empty. I've had another year of great brides, a few challenges, which usually are pretty rewarding once I accomplish what I've envisioned 😂 and I've battled through alot of pain.

2025 is going to be full of change(IYKYK). My calendar is full, I cannot accept any more brides.😱😭

Looking into the future, I may take on more brides, I'm just not sure yet..... some days my pain is TOUGH and I really want to enjoy where I'm at in my life right now. Thanks for all of the amazing new friends I've made along the way and for some awesome challenges you put me up to, AKA, believing in me 😂

It's been an emotional week for me with my daughter starting her senior year of high school. Lots of tears flowed yesterday. Today was good until..... a bride walked in for her final try on/pick up. Not just any bride. One of those that's in your heart. I altered all of her high school dresses and now her wedding gown.....😭

This "little side hustle" is just so much more. The friendships created are priceless to me, especially when "my girls" feel comfortable enough to make themselves at home 💗

Taking a little time off for a much needed get away! Looking forward to making memories with my family, it's been a long 8 years since our last family vacation! I'm away from my planner and I appreciate you all respecting my time away. I will be back in the sewing room August 12 to get caught up on messages.
