I've made potholders, window treatments, clothing, and crafty items (like pin cushions and mug organizers for my pens and scissors).

I do lots of mending for my grown daughters and their children. Also sew on demand for them. :lol:

If it is sewable I have made it. I have even been known to "sew" split window screens back together with fishing line. LOL

I've sewn just about anything you can think of. Made all my daughter's clothes when she was little as well as many things for my son. Made almost all my own clothes for years. Now am sewing clothes for my youngest granddaughter. Made doll clothes for my daughter and granddaughters, now make clothes for American Girl dolls. I just love sewing!

If it uses fabric I'll sew it. Clothes, toys, blankets, home dec, upholstery - it's all good.

I made these for my female wire fox terrier this week. I will make her tops to match.

Send us a picture of the model wearing them after you get her tops done.
