Sew Sexy

Sew Sexy I have been sewing for years, mostly small projects for family and friends. Until recently a friend got a boat and needed the upholstery redone.

I took on the challenge and I loved it!! I would love to keep it going.

To wrap up today, a friend reached out to me about replacing the peeling seats and backrests of their kitchen stools. The warranty, which was still in effect given the stools were under a year old, did not cover this particular issue. I have completed similar projects in the past and genuinely enjoy creating new seats, although the process is made more tedious by the hundreds of staples from the factory in each seat.

I also had the opportunity to redo some bench seats for a friend who owns a restaurant!

I made 12 covers in two different colors and she was the one who put them all on so I didn’t have to deal with all the staples!!! (You know how much I love ripping staples out 🤮)

She told me that all her customers loved the upgrade and she picked out the colors to match her existing back rests perfectly!

Good Morning All!!

I know I haven’t posted in a very long time and I’m so sorry for that! Rest assured, I’m still at it and making things! Life has kept me busy and I haven’t posted some projects in a while so here’s some for you to enjoy!

Last Christmas I had the honor of making 4 t-shirt blankets for a family who lost someone very dear to them. They were a surprise for Christmas gifts and they were all very happy with them!

My wonderful husband has a couple older tractors, which he loves!
He has been asking for a seat cushion for a while now so his farmer t**h can be comfortable in the heat and cold.
We haven’t been able to agree on a price I should charge him 😜 so I made him one for Father’s Day!
I just used some leftover material and the stuffing from an old pillow.
Now he can sit a little higher on his throne šŸ‘‘
Enjoy your day!

Good morning!

Almost forgot to share this one day project! It is always so much fun to collaborate with the friendliest of people! After some back and fourth for a couple weeks, I was brought these wooden blanks to cover for their total boat redo. Got them done in about 6 hours one day and another satisfied boat owner was happy with how they turned out!
Thanks everyone and enjoy your day!

Good Morning All!!

I have been busy with life, ya know, but had a chance to redo some pontoon seats! The boat deck needed the wood replaced and all the seats got new foam and vinyl. It was a long process getting them all done but the results are amazing!

Enjoy your day!

Last one for the day!

It’s always really nice to hear when someone gets ahold of me and starts by saying, ā€˜I saw a boat on the lake last weekend that you have redone and I was wondering if you can do some work for me this winter?’

It makes my heart so happy that not only are people proud to show off their new vinyl but to also refer me to a friend or an acquaintance!

This boat started out that way and I ended up keeping it for a while and redoing piece by piece until the three back seats, back rest and deck was redone.

These are always fun for me to do, it’s fun to read all the shirts and wonder what was going on then! šŸ˜‚

Happy New Year!! šŸŽŠ

I was drinking my coffee this morning and reflecting on the past year and I realized it has been months since I have posted what I have been up to…so sorry about that!

Last year, like most past years, go so fast and life can just take over and make you so busy!

So today I will be doing a post dump of my work to catch you all up, and I’m starting with something I did that’s new to me!

A friend reached out to me, a while ago and asked if I can redo their boat seats. As you can see they have piping going through the top. Yikes!! At first I told her I don’t do piping, I have lots of reasons but mostly it’s because I’m pretty intimidated by all the extra work and stress of getting it perfect. She was totally understanding, like most of the people I deal with!! (Thank you all for that ā¤ļø)

She brought me the seats and I said ya know what, since we are friends and you’re so cool about stuff, I would really like to give it a shot. The worst that could happen would be I totally mess up the piping pattern and would have to recover it all in white, she was supportive and confident in me, so I tried!

I’m pretty proud of myself for trying and I think it came out great! I learned a lot and I know what I will do differently next time and what worked this time!

The last two pictures are of another seat that just needed to be put back together. The board was broke and they cut out a new and brought me all the pieces to reassemble.

Happy new year!!
