In 1999, I realized a life-long dream when I graduated with an Associate Degree in Applied Sciences from the Apparel Design & Related Services Program at Seattle Central Community College.  If you are interested in the current program click on the link below: Most of thework I  currently do in my sewing room is custom clothing and alterations.  I have also been working with vintage fabrics and styles, adapting them to work within the plus size-petite esthetic.  The dress I'm wearing in the picture on the left is an adaptation of a daydress from the 1930's.  Its cotton fabric makes it nice on hot summer days.

This is a much more recent picture of me.  This one was taken last November.  I am wearing my favorite faux Pucci top.  I am always on the hunt for prints like these.  They are my passion.  Since eBay has taken over my life and living room, I have started spending one or two days a week on the road around Western Washington hunting the thrift stores for vintage fabrics, patterns, and sewing notions.  If you are in need of retro or vintage items for your sewing projects, email me (just click on the link below).  I may have what you need, or know where to find it.

In 1995, I  started working with a company, making patterns for cement geese outfits.  While I no longer work with that company, I do still develop new costumes and outfits for cement geese from time to time.  Pictures of some of my outfits for the geese appear below. 

Here are some of my designs for the cement geese population:

Bovine Madness	Flamingo (or is it Phyllis Diller?)	Scarecrow
Fireman	Winter Ensemble	Santa Claus
The June Bride	The Honeymoon's Over	Gone Shopping
