Welcome to my website! I have been sewing for clients for 40 years and want to share some photos of recent projects and challenges. My career has taken me to different countries where I have acquired new skills besides sewing. Here I am with a Pirates of the Carribean dress I made for one of my clients for a Halloween party. While living in England for 8 years I taught beading to a group of 8 women and many of the pages below contain projects we made together. Here are links to pages with mainly sewing projects I have made myself for clients. CLIENT REVIEWS My Sewing Studios Major Transformation!!! Golf...anyone? 1980 CHEROKEE JEANS?
