Yes, He Really Sews It With No Outside Help. Proudly Union made. I was dating a quilter and introduced her to a cool fabric store she had never known before. While her jaw was dragging the floor in awe of this fantastic store, I spotted some cool fabric that would make a great Do-Rag. (I ride motorcycles) The quilter said: "Well why don't you just buy some of the fabric, create a pattern, cut out
the pieces, and then assemble it." I didn't realize that she was being flippant at the time, so I did exactly what she said. It turns out I rather have a knack for "Fiber Art" and crank out high quality work...something I am proud of. It was sad, but the quilter and I parted ways years ago. Since that time, I have been learning new sewing "tricks", honing my skills, and developing a few new moves of my own...with the knowledge there is still a LOT more to learn to keep me moving forward. My "studio" is starting to fill up with some nice machines which include an ancient White Model 710, and BabyLock Models "Lauren", (serger) "Rachel" (sewing machine) and "Journey" (embroidery machine)
The He Sews It studio is a Union shop, so all items are proudly Union made. On a humorous note, a while back, my daughter pointed out the fact that my grandson (Baby A) has three (yes, count 'em, three) grandmothers and one grandfather.....and the grandfather (me) is the only one who sews things for the baby. My handiwork gained a small following with local parents after cranking out a few dozen Burp Cloths, Wee Wee Wigwams, some Swaddle Blanket sets, and a couple of Jackets for Baby A, so I just kept making more for the masses. Likewise, my Do-Rags gained popularity because they fit well and have extra long ties for larger skulls or for those with a lot of hair. While I still ride motorcycles, my Do-Rags use more fun, bright, and whimsical fabric prints, often with contrasting stitching, that are geared towards lifting the spirits of the average radiation/chemotherapy cancer patient. The radiation therapy patients with a strong sense of humor tend to appreciate my Glow-In-The-Dark Do-Rags. Go figure.
