Sewing Design & Alterations by Debbie

Twelve years ago I started this sewing business with the gracious referrals of my friends and early customers to their friends and relatives. In the beginning I had a few jobs each week and now receive twice as many requests as I can accommodate. I extend my sincerest gratitude to all these loyal customers. It has been an absolute pleasure to pursue my passion and meet so many nice people.

For anyone looking for last-minute gifts, several options are still available. Please note that my business will be open until 5 PM on Monday, December 22nd, which will mark my final day of work before I retire.

Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year to all. 🎁⛄️🎄🍾

Just a couple more weeks to wrap up your holiday shopping. 🎁🎁
New table runners, table toppers, wall/door hangings, and potholders are available (not all are pictured), offering fresh new items for decorating. This marks the third edition of my popular denim wristlets featuring Maine logos or stripes- a thoughtful and practical gift. To date, 71 of fhe unique hexagon, rectangle, and square ornaments have found new homes, with sports, Maine, and recipe designs clear favorites. Please note that this will be the final batch. Lastly, I’m excited to have new lined, quilted mini totes in various prints, perfect for gifting candy, gift cards, or small treasures like jewelry. (Again, not all the prints are pictured). 🎁
I will be opened until Dec 23rd.

Numerous fun new ornaments are available to hang on your tree or window, tie on gifts, or give as gifts. There are hexagons designed for adults and children, and other shapes for winter sports fans and people who love to cook. You won’t break the bank since they’re only $2. ❤️.

I'm thrilled to have discovered this fabric featuring mini recipes - it's a vibrant and imaginative way to add some personality to the kitchen. With its array of matching accessories, including potholders, oven mitts, and table runners, it makes for a thoughtful gift for any cooking enthusiast.

There are 2 wall/door hangings and 1 table runner still available if you plan on decorating for fall and/or Thanksgiving.
I was asked to put tucks in the waistbands of these women's pants. As is often the case, the waistbands of pants tend to stretch out over time.

I love, love this unique mosaic print fabric.
This is the 3rd time I’ve made pot holders with this gorgeous fabric, which have quickly sold out.
I made myself this table topper, which looks great with the little pumpkin tree. Sometimes you just need to put the alterations aside and do something for yourself 😊

A cute flannel quilt, with solids and animal fabrics, was made for an adorable baby. ❤️

3 lined Maine bags were requested for friends visiting from Georgia.

The front section of a waist fabric had totally worn through, on a favorite pr of pj’s. I took that section off, replaced it with a solid fabric, made a new draw string and John was good to go.

Big Fall Sale🍂🍁
Time to stock up on gifts for friends, relatives or for yourself.
You can zoom in and see 50 new potholders. I wanted to use up all the fabric pieces leftover from projects. They usually are $5.00 and are now $2.50.
The bottom pics are all the inventory I have now, which needs to be cleared out. Everything is 50% off the marked prices. Lots and lots of bargains.

I hope everyone had a wonderful summer. It's exciting to kick off September with new tabletoppers, runners and potholders. This is the last year the fall items will be available, so stock up now.🍂🍁

It’s so nice to have my own business so I can close for June, July and August😎
I’ll reopen on Sept. 9th.
Hope everyone has a wonderful summer.

A puffy quilt, that was a very slippery fabric, had several rips. Those were all sewn back together by hand, since the quilt was way too thick to fit under my sewing machine.
If you need a fun, unique gift this summer, these tote bags are the perfect choice. They’re lined and great for shopping or carrying all your ‘stuff’ and are made from pretty, colorful fabrics.
