I was also asked to make a majorette uniform for a sweet feature twirler that’s a senior this year. She and her mom designed it with a tiny bit of help from me. Another shout out to my daughter for the stoning on the paw print. I’m still finding orange and black sequins all over my house 🧡🖤

I was asked to bring this AI image to life for a senior drum major this year. Only a few changes were made but I think I delivered. Huge thank you to my daughter for being the one to do the majority of the stoning on the bodysuit, train, and wrist gauntlet. And a special shout out to a New Orleans friend for the authentic Mardi Gras collar as the show stopper of the whole outfit.

Scraps can be used to make wonderful things! This bride brought me the pieces of her dress that were removed for hemming. Out of those scraps I was able to appliqué her new name onto a pillow, make a small clutch for her mom (not pictured are the hand embroidered initials of her and her mom on the inside), an ornament for her grandmother, 4 hair bows for her flower girls, and 3 handkerchiefs for her dad/groom/grandfather. Handkerchief embroidery by Custom Shirts & Signs.
