SharpSewing SharpSewing custom ballet, dance & stage costumes. Etsy store: SharpSewing. In person fittings by. My work has been seen at YAGP, 24Seven and other competitions.

Before moving to Dover, NJ I created ballet and dance costumes for local, national and international clients. I have also sewn custom millinery and clothing for formal occasions (wedding, prom) and will do some alterations by appointment only. Every client near or far receives friendly, personalized service. I believe that anyone can look and feel beautiful in clothing that fits and flatters. At

present my shop is able to take a limited number of clients. Please feel free to contact me either by message, e-mail or phone to discuss projects or to set up an appointment.

Sigh, sometimes dealing with bureaucracy, customs etc. is very, very trying and tiring. My custom order of swanlike headpieces made it all the way to Austria, was held there for two weeks, and now they are flying back home.

Update!🎉🎊. The swan headpieces finally reached their destination and the client was very happy. Where the 5 original headpieces are? Who knows probably flying around a customs warehouse somewhere, but at least on set arrived.

Lots and lots of swan headpieces going off to Switzerland and Austria.

Working on patterns for a special project for my daughter who is getting married in May. Not her wedding dress, but a copy of a vintage dress my mother made (Vogue couture design 1002), which she is hoping to wear as a reception dress. Drawing patterns is hard and not really my “ thing”, but it’s the only way to achieve what I want.
I am also working on a pretty sparkly pin to go on her veil. I finished her veil ( using some special Italian tulle my mother gave me before she passed away). All together there will be something old, new, borrowed and blue, for her special day.

Just sold this beauty. A few minor adjustments and off she goes to Texas. This costume is RTW and comes with headpieces which can be mixed and matched. Pattern and instructions for this costume by Good Karma, Matroska. Love Pamela’s patterns and clear instructions.
