I made custom seat covers for the back seats of my truck because my dogs own that part of it. Oh yeah, an bed pads for my incontinent MIL.

Default Wing and Tail Covers

for a glider plane. Each wing was over 30 feet long! These were to protect the wings from the hot summer sun.

Took a lacey padded bra, put the two cups facing each other as a purse added a handle, and stuffed it with gag gifts for a bridal skower gift! The bride liked it so much she used it as the purse for her money dance at the wedding.

Default Klingon

I made a female Klingon costume for my sister-she used to be in a group that would show up at the premiers of each new Star Trek movie. I used a bridesmaid pattern, but made the boning black and used gray foamy fabric.

I once made a modified abdominal binder/jock strap for use before hernia surgery. I also made special trombone slide covers for a high school marching band.

A canopy for the hotel patio, sixty feet long. I went back to visit 8 years later, it was still there.

I sewed a 40 X 100 ft awning. I never unrolled it to look at it. I just kept rolling it and sewing on it. I did see it set up. Way too heavy. DH and DS helped move it through the machine.
