My customer wanted a T-Shirt Quilt and two Teddy Bears made from their father’s clothing. See the video here: T-Shirt Quilt & 2 Teddy Bears Two panels include his college fraternity! They wanted a simple design, not too big, and they did not want me to hide the stains on the shirts. “That was just Dad”. Two Teddies where also made from the left-over shirts. One has this inscription:
Colton,
I may have never Held you in my arms
But I will always love you.
Love, Grandpa Mark.

I was contacted by my client, who was looking to transform her Grandmother's Mink Fur into a Lap/Throw Blanket. The original lining was stunning and was incorporated into the project. I used both the lining and new black silk lining. Custom quilting was used to attach lining material and batting. Both fur layer and backing were then sandwiched together to complete the throw. Original tags and labels were sewn onto the backing. A lovely heirloom to give joy to the family for years to come.
Feathered Star Quilt by Judy Niemeyer is a discontinued pattern. The quilt size: Queen Size Quilt measuring 96 by 96. I have been working on and off this project for over 10 years. There are hundreds of pieces, ranging from tiny to large. I finally competed it!! This video is a very simple overview of the paper piecing process.
A customer asked me to take their Beaver Coat and to create some pillows from the fur. It was requested that I used the lining of the jacket as well as the monogram on one of the pillows. The Beaver coat has both long fur as well as sheared Beaver fur. It's a lovely soft malleable fur. I was able to construct four pillows incorporating the sheared Beaver pelt as the center focal point. I hope you enjoy the process.

I was asked to use the lining of a coat to make two fur pillows. The lining was made of New Zealand Opossum. They wanted to use both the fur and the jacket lining. A very sharp Exacto knife was used the cut the fur. As you can see the manufacturer used very small left over pieces to make the inside lining of the coat. Enjoy the process.
I was asked to cut a leather skirt and attach it to a pair of blue jeans. This is a little bit of a challenge because of the texture of the skirt and the diagonal seams on the skirt. I have incorporated the skirt seams into the leather fronts . The pair of jeans is also lined with fleece on the inside. So far, I have made a template, cut out the leather. I am in the process of making the leather longer to fit the pair of pants. I will deconstruct the seams of the jeans and tuck the leather into the sides.
