DH requested a leather gear shift boot cover. First time I sewed leather. DH was impressed, still looks good on his car ;)

Perhaps the question is not what I made but what I turned down.
Some years ago while working as a dental assistant in Milwaukee WI I walked in the op and heard the Doctor tell the patient I had a sewing business so to ask if I'd do the work she was looking for. He had no idea what she was looking for just needed a seamstress. As the dctor was out of the room she explained she needed an alteration o a swim suit. (she was a big gal) I kept trying to figure out what she meant by it being too big and why not just buy a new one. Finally I understood. It was the begining of that aweful craze for thong swim suits and she was wanting me to turn her swim suit into one. I pulled out a length of dental floss and gave it to her and told her that was as far as I was willing to go. The doctor about dropped his teeth when he realized what she was wanting. I had several calls of desperate Mom's late Thursday wanting a custome wedding gown for Saturday. They'd flip out sure it was very unprofessional and how could I call my sell one if I couldn't make a gown in a day. Those types of things are when I realized I really didn't want to sew on demand like that. |
For me, it was the lion, elephant, parrot, and cow costumes I made for my teacher daughter's school production.

I was asked to make fabric flower bouquets for the tables out of quilting fabric for a wedding.

I made Halloween costumes for my daughters years ago.
One year they were Snow White and Dopey, the next year Raggedy Ann and Andy and one year a pricess and a Unicorn. Here is a picture of my favorite |
I made a microphone cozie. The microphone is from a CB Radio (husband's hobby) on a stand. It was all gold plated and the person using it didn't want to wear the plating so he asked if I could make a cover for it and he would still be able to use it. So I did, a microphone cozie. <shrug>
