A older project but it was so fun! This couple wanted a custom cape for their themed wedding. It was such a great project to be a part of and I really enjoyed working with them.

This was such a fun project I did last year for a customer. She was going to the Taylor Swift concert and wanted help making the jacket. She already had a black jacket that she had me recover with the green sequined fabric and then place all the patches on that. She had done so much already by finding or custom making the patches on the jacket. It turned out so fun! I’m glad I got to work on it!

It’s finally done!
Story time: A few years ago, I joined a quilting club, even though I had very little experience quilting. I had recently moved and wanted to connect with people who had similar interests. Also my mother told me if you learn one new sewing skill it’s never a waste because you will use it the rest of your life. One of my good friends in the club helped us all design individual Harry Potter quilts. I am a big Harry Potter fan, so this was right up my alley and I had lots of fun putting it together. Not all my clothing sewing skills transferred over to quilting but it was still fun to try. I learned a lot like, I would rather work with clothing than quilts. I still loved creating this!
A little about the quilt: the pieces were cut out on a cricket, ironed on and then secured with a hand blanket stitch. For the machine quilting I started by sewing around all the pieces and adding some design details to make them pop. Then I loved coming up with different designs to put in each squares background that corresponded to what was on it. The pictures don’t quite do it justice, even the close ups. My favorite part is the space between the squares with the foot prints and the marauders names. The edge is a copy of Hogwarts train tickets border. This thing took over 5 years to complete. So fun, but I think I will be sticking with clothing from now on.
What I am going to do with it? I have no idea but I love it!

This one is for all my Brandon Sanderson fans. It was a really fun project I worked on a few years ago for a customer who wanted a Adolin jacket from the Stormlight series. It was really fun because I had read the books and loved helping create something that had been pretty new. Brandon Sanderson puts beautiful drawings and great descriptions in his books so we had that to go on. I was very happy with the results. Also this was a project from a few years ago so excuse the pictures.

Sheer is a popular trend right now. Some people like it more than others. So something I have been doing a lot lately is filling pieces that have sheer sections. Here is one example of the a cute dress where the costumer wanted the sleeves filled in it. It turned out great!

I finally finished the pillows and cushions in our reading nook in the basement! I made all the pillows and the big cushion except one. I saw a home pillow in a store with a princess castle on it and had the idea for this one. My husband and I came up with idea to put the Payson temple on it instead. As I was finishing up the pillow and I had the thought that the pillow kind of has a double meaning. Not only is it talking about our home but our eternal home. The temple is what makes that possible. I’m grateful for modern temples and the blessing we receive from them. I am grateful for prophet and modern revelation. I have been loving the spirit that general conference is bringing into your home and can’t wait for the rest of it.

This last year I’ve done a lot of wedding alterations. One of my more fun alterations was this one. This lovely bride found a great deal on a dress that work for her but the dress was lower in the back then she wanted. I put in the panel and lace up back to give her more coverage. It turned out great and, more importantly, she was very happy with it.

Here is my latest project. A new coat! So glad I got it done before it really warmed up.

This has been a really fun project I have been working on. A friend of mine wanted her mother’s wedding dress turned into baby blessing dresses. We were able to get three! They truned out so cute. Swipe to see the original dress.

I am finally opening! It’s been a longer break than expected. The basement took a little longer and we added a new little family member. I am finally ready to start taking work again. Please keep in mind there is longer turn around time right now. I’m excited to start up again!

Hey Sewing Friends! I am wondering if anyone local would mind if I referred them to people looking for alterations while I am shut down. If you are interested let me know!
