I'm Jess and I want to help you start or finish that project you set aside a year ago. Accessibility is important to me and everyone deserves a chance to restore beloved items into something they can love for years to come. I have an uncanny problem solving mind and take pride in being the best backstage hack there is.

• I offer side by side coaching for beginners. I want you to learn how to work with your own sewing machine, but I'll have my traveling one with me just in case. We can trouble shoot, fix mistakes, and make sure you are headed in the right direction. 
• Girl Pockets. I add visible and hidden pockets to skirts and dresses. 
• Time saving is cost saving. If you can do any part of the work I'm happy to let you do it. 
• Highly collaborative. Custom work means there is more than one right answer. I want you to be happy with the results. 
•  Costuming. You want what now? My recent favorites have been Sasquatch Stilt covers and a Pro Wrestler Themed Renaissance outfit all made from existing clothing and materials. 
• Historical Projects 
• Custom Restoration 
• Hemming Jeans
• Light visible mending . I can do the structural repair work and give it an artsy camouflage. 
• Refurbished Jeans 
• School and scout activity patches 
• Band merch and battle vests
