Seam 2 Rip

This is the third prototype jersey. The last one was just not right. I made the adjustments he asked for. Used a couple of different stitches, and finished it off all the way around. I hope this works. What a learning experience this has been.

This is the latest practice, just for the heck of it, projects I have done. Been finding very interesting fabric @ Thrift Town recently. So cheap, and all kinds of experimenting will happen.

So many projects, so little time!

If you interested in the shorts, or colorful bra type top, they are for sale.  You can contact me, and we can discuss it. Thanks.

Heating ducts to cover

More heating ducts.

Even more heating ducts!!

I received an email today, asking me if I could make a curtain to cover heating ducts in a garage. I responded with a “yes”, and a quote.

We exchanged ideas, and I agreed to do the job. Raised my quote, and told her I would be happy to bring my machines, and any tools I felt I needed to do the job.  This one is custom, on location.

I met with Mike again today in Hayward with the first prototype jersey. It is HUGE!!  I made it the way he asked, and I think we over estimated the size. He really liked it, despite the humongous size. Said his goalie can wear it.  He told me he wanted to show it to the guys, and they would decide if they want to proceed with this idea. I agreed, and waited for his progress report.  Here is a picture of the Godzilla jersey.
