This last weekend I ended up in Ohio at a place called Hetch's Landing. This place is a great retirement location or a Home away from Home! It's a very large property! they also have a very large camping area. There are people that live there year round and those are the people I was there to help.

I meet so many nice people. The staff was great. I repaired holes in pants, replaced a coat zipper, and a few things in between I even repaired a boat cover!

This was not my usual set up. I was not there to make money I was volunteering my time to help those who just could not do it for themselves either by age or handicap. I have to say I feel pretty blessed to be able to do things like that.

Thank you to Hetch's Landing for letting me set up. I hope we can do that again.

Don't Miss Out!!

New Shop Opening

I went to check on my shop today and they are just about done!!! I'm going to be there Wednesday morning and all day Thursday helping up with the finishing touches and then I'm going to start getting it ready for my business!!

Patches on the Vest

I sewed patches on this small vest thinking it belonged to a child. The customer sent me this photo, I laughed way too hard at this!

Medium Purse

This purse was the second purse I made from the same scrap as the "Small Purse". I had to make one better because I knew I could.

Front Pocket Wallet

This small wallet opens up for your bank cards and/or driver license, once it closes then you have space for your bills. It also has RFID blocking to protect your credit cards.

Wrist Wallet

Some customers liked the arm wallet but others it was too big, so let me introduce the wrist wallet.

Vest Extenders

Also known as "Fat Man Vest Extenders". A customer no longer fit into his vest but didn't want to get rid of it, so I found some leather material that was similar to his vest and created extenders. Which the customer named them as "Fat Man Vest Extenders".

American Flag Bag

This bag was made in bulk for a local American Legion and the funeral detail team.

NEW THREAD!!

With the spooky season coming up I found this glow in the dark thread and tested it out on a customized name patch.

Tye-Dye Mask

During the pandemic a customer saw my military face mask and ask me to make them one that would go with everything.

Treat & Poop Bag

I trained my dogs to the best of my ability, by using training treats. While taking them out on walks they would train and sometimes "go" in public. I made this to not only hold the treats but also bags to clean the messes.

Knife Sheath

Once you get to know me you will realize that I don't go anywhere without at least two knifes on me. With that in mind, my pockets cant always carry them, I handmade this small sheath.

Dog Bed & Pillow

My husband and I have to share the bed with each other, so I figured instead of adding my two dogs to the bed or spending money on a bed they may not like. I made them a bed with a small pillow that my puppy ended up stealing!

Military Face Mask

During Covid-19, we were all forced to wear these masks. I just wore mine with style in honor of our troops. It was also reversible and the filter on the inside could be changed.

The Big Dog

This stuffed animal was on his last thread, almost literally. I repaired this poor guy more times then I would like to remember. Putting the stuffing back in and sewing him up was challenging because of the size but I got him fixed up.

Sweet 16

Mainly everything in this photo was either hand made or hemmed/taken out. The masks and accessories were handmade but the girls' dresses were taken in, hemmed, and some were taken out. Even my son had to have some adjustments.

Remembrance Cuff

A customer was getting married and her future father in law passed before the wedding. She wanted to put his ashes into something special for her future husband. Something he could wear while riding the motorcycle.

Child Vest & Chaps Set

A previous customer heard that I custom made vests for some children once and wanted to know if I could do a vest and chaps set for their child.

Before & After Cushion

A customer had a huge tear in their couch cushion and asked if I could repair it. I did!

Arm Wallet

I was experimenting with measurements and ended up with a wallet that is adjustable for the forearm. Which the customer still uses today.

Small Purse

I'm not much of a purse kind of woman, I made this small purse for a special occasion. Even with adjustable straps. This was the first purse I made with scrap leather from a coat that was damaged.

Child Trench Coat

My son didn't like his winter coats saying they didn't look cool enough, so with some time, I made him this trench coat and he wore it until he grew out of it!

Leather Purse

A customer from California sent me a photo of a purse she once had and asked if I could make one like it, but with different colors out of leather. She wanted the black and yellow purse with a separate make up pouch.

Blanket & Scrunchie

This was a gift to my daughter who loved these old clothes but they didn't fit her anymore, so I made a whole blanket and with extra material I made her a scrunchie. She was surprised to find a hidden pocket, only big enough to hold the TV remote hostage.
