What does a seamstress do when she’s stuck in Claremore OK for the day on a Saturday…,,,she drives to Tulsa to buy all the fabric for her next show she’s costuming to work on all week
November is Nutcracker prep month. This will be my 5th year as the Oklahoma Nutcracker costumer (2020 it was cancelled) and that means I’m checking, adding and sewing hundreds of hooks.
Making yards and yards of cording for some dining cushions. I love making cording and find it so satisfying
Double welt added to a stool I upholstered yesterday
Added to my list of fabric I’d rather never work with again….mohair! These pillows were a PITA to sew
Day 3 and 4 of , completed the romper and tailored vest, getting ready to tackle the ginormous ball gown skirt! Sometimes part of my job isn’t sewing and I spent a hour or two at the Nutcracker ballet storage facility yesterday organizing and moving costumes to the dance studio for fittings tomorrow
Today I sewed the 9 pillows I cut out yesterday, sewed and fit the vest I drafted yesterday and getting ready to redo the adjustments from the fitting
To get an idea of how much sewing I do a month I’m going to do 30 days of sewing in my life this month.
Today I cut out and serged the edges of nine pillows, cut out one vest that I’m drafting a new pattern for and finished these two cubes…. I’m still not done for the day and hoping to get a few of the pillows together I cut and serged and sew the rough draft of the vest together
Working on my tailoring skills and quick release designs with a custom made suit for our next show!

Guess what I’m working on?
Adding a lace up back!
Update on the 90’s wedding dress revamp!
Today I’m taking apart a sentimental brides moms dress to update it for her to wear
Cooking up some ancestors
Guess what/who I’m working on this week?
100 yards of custom dyed lace gathered and ready to add to a skirt! So excited for what I’m working on the next few months!
I think I might be taking on more than I should have design wise 😬
Experimenting with lace and dye!
