Lets Work Together!

It all begins with an idea. Let me know if there is something special you’ve thought of that you’d like me to create!

It’s my husband’s birthday today🎂 I’ve been making him a surprise 🤫🎁 This fabric button maker was my mother’s from when she did upholstery. I have only used it a couple times but boy does it really come in handy when you need a button to match your project perfectly! Stay tuned to see my husband’s upcylced @carhartt gift! #fyp #upcycle #handmade #foryourpage #smallbusiness #baseball #baseballislife #baseballcap #sew #sewing #farmer #farming #diy #imadethis

If you know my daughter then you certainly know “Pooh Bear.” He’s 6 years old and a member of the family. Winnie the Pooh was my favorite character growing up so my sister gave me a brand new classic Winnie the Pooh bear at my baby shower when I was pregnant with Inez. When she was a few months old he became her best friend. He goes EVERYWHERE with us and gets lots of loving use. He was only left behind once on a park bench. Inez was totally fine with it but I was worried that I woke up at 2am and had to drive the 1 hour round trip just to bring him home. So it’s safe to say I’m very fond of him as well. After 6 years, he got his first hole and I happily stitched him back up 🪡 he’ll never look brand new again and we wouldn’t want it any other way. #fyp #upcycle #smallbusiness #foryou #handmade #foryourpage #sewing #disney #sew #stuffedanimal #stuffedanimals #kids #love #foreveryoung

It’s never lost on me how wonderful it is to be a brand ambassador for THE BEST brand. My very first sewing machine when I was 16 years old was a Husqvarna Viking Interlude 435. I used it for almost 20 years until I was gifted the Designer Sapphire 85 two years ago. This fall SVP Worldwide (Singer, Husqvarna Viking and Pfaff) send me a few gifts. I meant to share this months ago but better late than never! THANK YOU!

The majority of my customers send me beloved clothing worn by a passed loved one that they want turned into something they will wear or use to think of that person ♥️ Each one is such an honor to make. Bags, purses, wallets, blankets, teddy bears… you name it and I’ll make it ✂️🪡 I’d love to do the same for you.

Upcycling a wool coat- Part 2 of 8: altering to make “yardage” My customer’s mom passed away so she asked me to turn it into something she would wear. Upcycling can be challenging at times because I’m not working with large, clean, rectangular shaped yardage of fabric. Sometimes I have to alter or piece together the garment to be able to fit my new pattern pieces. Sometimes I have to work around stains or holes. Every piece I receive is different and unique and that’s one of the parts of my business I love! It’s never gets dull! #fyp #wool #woolcoat #upcycle #smallbusiness #foryou #handmade #foryourpage #sewing #sew #diy #diyproject #mom #momlife
My next upcycling project is here! Part 1 of 8: upcycling my customer’s mom’s coat into something she’ll wear. Some fabric’s, like wool, are strong and durable, making taking out stitches so much easier and faster. Most of the time I use a seam ripper on projects and once in a while scissors. #fyp #wool #woolcoat #upcycle #smallbusiness #foryou #handmade #foryourpage #sewing #sew #diy #diyproject #mom #momlife
🩵🪡 My daughter started sewing when she was 3 years old. When I became a brand ambassador from Husqvarna Viking they sent my daughter this wonderful machine (HV/Singer/Pfaff are all affiliated) Last spring/summer, when my son was only 2 years old, kept begging me to use the sewing machine. He’s a very responsible little boy and cooks eggs on the stove with ease and was spreading hand sewing. I decided to let him try it but without the needle in. Now he just turned 3 years old and with supervision he sews confidently with the needle in. This Singer C7220 has speed control, automatic cutting and runs so smoothly. What a great gift it was to the family. Thank you @singernorthamerica ❣️ I have been sewing for over 20 years. I’ve sewn through my finger a few times and always sew barefoot so don’t worry I’m still sewing to this day regardless 🪡🙃 #fyp #upcycle #smallbusiness #foryou #handmade #sewing #foryourpage #boys #boyslove #toddlerlife #love #happy #happyday #diy #sew #sewsewsew
Happy Valentine’s Day! 💗 Throw back to last year’s lacing cards for my daughter’s Valentine’s. 2 years ago I upcycled my daughter’s baby clothes scraps into heart keychains for her to give out. This year I just couldn’t swing it so I decided to skip a year. I was disappointed because I have my new laser engraver so I had some great ideas but time just ran away ⌛️ Next year! Enjoy my throwback! #fyp #valentines #happyvalentinesday #happyvalentines #upcycle #smallbusiness #foryou #foryourpage #sewing #diy #diycrafts

Today would have been my dad’s 78th birthday. When he was 43 years old he built his the home he shared with his family, creating beautiful memories until he pass away in it 20 years later. My childhood home always had the warmest and grandest feelings. It truly was “home sweet home.” After my parents passed away, for many reasons out of my control, I lost the house. It was devastating and i think about it on a daily basis and sometimes dream at night about it. I turned a picture of the house into an embroidery to wear on a sweatshirt. It started out as a tribute to my dad but turned into so much more… I hope you enjoy the photos of my dad’s hard work and love for his family 🤎🏠 as well as one of the last photos ever taken as a family of 4 when we still lived in that little piece of heaven on earth. I’ll try to get the house back one day… #fyp #upcycle #smallbusiness #foryou #handmade #sew #sewing #foryourpage #embroidery #embroidered #embroideryart
I started out creating this embroidery of my childhood home on a sweatshirt as a tribute to my dad for National Embroidery month and his birthday month. But it turned into so much more, a tribute to both my parents and the legacy they left behind. My dad built the most beautiful house and together they made it a home that we lived in until shortly after they passed away 22 years later. I tried so hard to keep the house but I wasn’t able to. I’ll get it back one day…. One special memory is Christmas 2005 in our living room, I got my very first sewing machine. Not just any machine but a HUSQVARNA® VIKING®. I used that machine for almost 20 years until I became a HUSQVARNA® VIKING® brand ambassador and they upgraded me to a Designer Sapphire 85. While I love my old machine THIS machine is far superior. It gave me the ability to embroider this design. The automatic cutter, needle threader and thread tension are just a few of the advanced features I can’t be without now. It also gives me access to @mysewnet embroidery software with thousands of preprogrammed stitches or I can create my own. I uploaded a picture of my house into the software which generated a beautiful yet complicated embroidery of groups of several thousand stitches. I easily edited it in mySewnet Digitizing to get a simpler group of 400 stitches (95,304 individual stitches). Are you interested in a new sewing and/or embroidery machine?
