Everybody likes a transformation, and this one is beautiful. If you were married in the 90's, you will recognize this dress: French lace, beads, sequins, V-waistline, and poofy sleeves. This was Summer's soon-to-be Mother-in-law's dress. If you can see, it was beautifully preserved, and the satin is snow white. The sequins aged a beautiful pale yellow to give the dress character. It fits her beautifully, but Summer was overwhelmed with the sleeves, so those got taken off, lace removed, and re-sized to fit the cap of her shoulder. I also removed the very big and heavy train. I shortened the dress to t-length, and removed the V-waistline for her. Summer's soon-to-be Mother-in-law knows she has the dress to be altered, but doesn't know what she plans to do with the dress. It will be a jaw dropping moment when she wears this to the rehearsal dinner. Thanks for the challenge, Summer, and Congratulations!

I have an old Singer 20u in the studio. We needed a curved needle for a different machine and I challenged my employee, Eric to see if he could find one in the drawer of this machine. He had so much fun looking at stuff that was 30, 40 and 50 years old, I had to take a few pics. Do you recognize any of the items in this drawer? If you do, I know how old you are!!! :)

The perfect Christmas gift for your medical friends! A surgical nurse contacted me about making surgical caps with West Virginia fabric, which I was happy to do. There was a miscommunication and misunderstanding, and I have 12 of these surgical hats that I would love to sell. They are ponytail surgical caps, which mean a ponytail will fit comfortably under the hat. They are for sale in my studio. Feel free to stop by during business hours to purchase this cap. Thank you!

Hello friends! This is just a shout-out to all my friends and customers. If you can take a minute and vote me Best of Morgantown, I would really appreciate it. I have not made an effort with wanting to be Best of Morgantown in previous years, because I have chosen to not advertise. I consider my chances are slim. But, my awesome customers advertise for me, and I thought I would give it a shot this year. Here is the link, and thank you in advance. https://morgantownmag.com/best-of-morgantown-2026/ #/gallery/504549300

What happens when you are invited to a fantasy wedding? Creativity! Look what Nicole did to the wedding dress she found at a resale shop. First, I adjusted the side seams, and cut off the train. (This took me two tries to get it right.). Then, she took the scraps from the hem and practiced dying the different fabrics of the dress. It looks like black on the top, and purple on the bottom. She said the lace turned a beautiful silver. Since the dress is made out of different fabrics, they accepted the dye a little differently. She had fun, and said she didn't turn herself a different color! ha ha It turned out really beautiful. Thanks for sharing these pics, Nicole. Can anyone guess where this even took place by the photos?

I have to tell you about Nancy. Probably my twin in heaven. A professional Masseuse who brought me her wedding 'dress', which is called an Ao Dai in Vietnam. She has not worn it since she was married because she lost weight. I needed to take in the side seams, from the top of the sleeve to the top of the vent in the hem. I also adjusted the purple butterfly pants in the waist, so they didn't slip right off! She wanted her wedding 'dress' to be something beautiful that she could wear to her wedding but also wear anytime. She also wanted to sit next to Mike, her quadriplegic husband for the ceremony, so the Ao Dai was perfect. Her friend Valarie hand made it for her with fabric she got from Parkersburg. The fabric is a gorgeous dragonfly brocade. The pants are made from a butterfly brocade. Why? When her mother passed away, she and all of her siblings saw dragonflies. When her husband's mother passed away, he and his siblings saw butterflies. So, this Ao Dai is an homage to her and her husband's mothers. It gets even better! Nancy is teaching a seminar with her friend Valarie at Greenbriar and Valarie does not know that Nancy will wear the Ao Dai she made for her wedding. I smile when I think of how this one piece of clothing has brought so much love to Nancy, her husband, her family and her friends. Her husband passed away a few years ago, and she treasures every memory as she touches and wears her beloved Ao Dai. Thanks for trusting me, Nancy. I truly have the best job in the world!

Cold feet? And not the married kind? I have developed a way to solve all of your cold feet problems. My inspiration comes from my husband complaining about cold feet. Why not combine a rice warmer with slippers??? So, I did. Here is a video on how you can make slippers you can put in the microwave for 90 seconds, and never have cold feet again!

Cold feet? Join me in the studio as we workshop a pair of microwavable slippers! The perfect winter project or gift!Join this channel to get access to perks:...

How do you get married in December with a strapless dress? A white fur coat and an inside venue! Emilie's dress needed about 1 1/2" off her left hip (manufacturer error), and a hem. She also had removable drape sleeves that made a really cute wardrobe change. Her beautiful coat sleeves were too long, so I shortened them, and made an instructional video for all you crafters and seamstresses out there. Everything turned out beautifully. Thank you for trusting me, Emilie! Congratulations, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year!
