Men's Double Breasted Wool Coat - Based On Fringe

$350

The coat was made for a client based on the character Windmark from FRINGE (and for those of you who have not seen the show, I highly recommend seeing it!). Coat is made from heavy Melton Dark Green wool. Melton wool is one of the heaviest and most durable wools out there. As you can see from the pictures depending on the lighting it also has a tendency to shift color, which in the case of the Windmark Coat, is perfect. Solid brass buttons adorn the coat. It is lined with both 3M Thinsulate and Satin backed flannel to give it that extra warmth. Even living in the harsh northern climate this coat will keep you warm! Many styles are available, not just this particular one. Many color options as well. Prices are based on size and style.

Custom sewing at its best! I do everything from basic mending to creating your dream wedding dress and everything in between. From cushions, to prom to curtains to Dance costumes, I can do it all.

I started sewing when I was in high school as a way to express my creative side. Both my mom and grandma were seamstresses and I found that I was pretty good at it too. While I never gave it up, life got to be hectic. We lost my younger brother when I was a senior in High School and then with college, getting married and having children it just got set off to the side.

Our first born was named Anthony Peter on January 8th, 2010. My aunt, who is determined to give every child born in my family a nickname, dubbed him Tony Bud (short for Anthony and Peter - my brother who we named him after and who had the nickname Bud - yes by the same aunt). Two months later my husband lost his job. In a way, I guess the saying "Necessity is the Mother of Invention" greatly applied to what would follow in our lives.

As it happened, my next door neighbor at the time needed new outdoor cushions made for her patio. I, in passing, said I knew how to make them. She was elated and went out that day, bought all the materials and wrote me a check for my service. It was at that point that I realized I could turn what was once a hobby into a business.

Later that same year, I started doing craft shows. We didn't have a name picked out yet for the business and when we were asked, my husband and I looked at each other and said "Tony Bud's". Thus Tony Bud's Sewing was born.

It has been 5 years now since I started sewing again on a full time basis. We now have three growing boys and run a "in town" farm with my parents. Our lives are full and very blessed.

I take great pride in what I make. For that reason alone, all of my projects always come with my personal satisfaction guarantee. You will always receive pictures of your item before final payment is due. Based on the measurements you send me, the item is guaranteed to fit. If alterations are necessary, I will cover the cost of said alterations.

I have helped to create stunning dresses for women, great coats for men, as well as something as simple as a blanket for a new mommy to be. I try not to limit myself in what I can do and I am always happy to work with anyone that needs custom work done. I strive to make your dream and vision a reality. I look forward to the years ahead and the many new people that my family and I will meet along the way.

    I had such a wonderful experience with Becky and she made me the most beautiful dress. Not only was it more beautiful than I could have possibly imagined it was of high quality and with exceptional detail. She was as sweet as can be to work with and she always made me feel comfortable with the project during the process.I would recommend Becky to anyone searching for a dependable and most worthy seamstress and I will certainly use her again for my next costume.

    I am sorry to say that I would not use this maker again. Becky was very nice and seemed to be comfortable choosing the type of fabric for a dress that I wanted her to copy. I do not know fabric, but had a picture of the dress. The fabric was too heavy for the particular dress and it did not lay well and looked much more structured and stiff than the pictures of the desired dress. Right at the end of the project, she made many comments that led me to believe she knew this was a problem and had tried to fix it by washing the fabric. I wish she had told me she chose the wrong type fabric before I paid to have this dress made. The other problem is that it has a very strong smell of cigarette smoke. Even if I were planning on wearing the dress, it would have to be dry cleaned first. Disappointing all around.
