Maid of Honour - Dress Hem

This gorgeous gown will be worn by the Maid of Honour at an

upcoming wedding.  Since she lives far from the bride, the bridal shop

and the ceremony location, Log Cabin Sewing Studio

helped with the dress alteration.

With a new shorter hem for the lining, dress and chiffon overlay,

the MoH can focus on the bride and won't need to worry

about tripping over her own dress.

Drapery Hemming

These new drapery panels were about 12 inches

too long for my client.

Hemmed and ready to hang!

New Zipper for Campbellford Colts Jacket

This Campbellford Colts hockey jacket needed
a little fixing up before the start of the new season:

With a new zipper this player is ready to go!

Summer Purse Repair

After a summer of use and abuse, the handles of this

cute summery bag were in need of some tlc.

So I headed to Canadian Tire for some cotton rope:

Then used the same knot that my kids use when making

friendship bracelets:

Then tea-dyed the new rope handles and sewed them in place.

Dressed up Flip Flops

Labour Day has come and gone, but with this great weather

we still need our flip flops!  I found this pair on clearance for 85 cents. 

 A few fabric strips and a quick macrame knot make

these flip flops look comfy and cute.

Sewing for Back To School

Today was the first day of school and here are
