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.

For Naomi Rivkis' Green wedding gown3.8The ratings above are mixed, but my recommendation of Becky's work is absolute. This is why. The experience of working with her wasn't always smooth… I get the impression (though she hasn't said explicitly) that she works from out of her home; combining that with a chronic illness and a fluctuating situation with her assistants, and it was something of a rocky road. She ended up making three things for us -- my wedding dress, and my husband's kilt and jacket; and the jacket didn't get to us in time, though she took heroic measures to try and make it do so. It wasn't her fault really… but if you've got something you absolutely can't risk being delayed, I recommend either working with a larger business which can field ups and downs more smoothly, or else giving her a deadline that's a couple of weeks earlier than the day you actually need to wear it. That certainly would've made things less hair-raising for us.
That said, Becky is an amazing seamstress, and she made me the most beautiful wedding dress I could imagine. It was even comfortable, which is hard to achieve for me because of my own health concerns. Becky worked with me to find a material which was both inexpensive and felt good on my skin, and made my dress out of that. It felt like I was wearing a nightgown… and it looked like I was wearing something fit for a Renaissance queen. I've never looked that beautiful in my life, and her work is a big part of it.
She also has a huge heart and endless willingness to go the extra mile, which makes up for the occasional communication glitch or time delay. She worked for 36 hours straight to replace an item which had been damaged (by a small child with a scissors) before it could be sent… that was the one which didn't get to us in time, but she certainly tried, above and beyond all expectations. She jumped in with a last-minute order to make it possible for my husband to have the kilt he'd set his heart on, and she generously helped me juggle payment arrangements when our finances were tight. We will be forever grateful. And we'd work with her again in a hot second, because the work she turns out is some of the finest tailoring I've ever had the privilege of wearing. If that means dealing with occasional bumps in the road, she's well worth it.

Jeanine ibanez
For Jeanine's Wedding Dress4.5I accepted Becky's proposal in July 10 2015 after her soliciting me and I was very happy she did. When I spoke to Becky I felt like she understood exactly what I was looking for which was a high low organza dress that was originally made by Sottero & Midgley but discontinued. . The reason I only put four stars in timeliness is because I started this project in July 2015 and the dress was shipped to me on March 18,2016 but Becky like myself is a mom and sometimes things happen beyond our control, but during those hard times where her kids were sick she constantly updated me and assured me I had nothing to worry about, Communication was great .
Shipping only has three stars because when it was shipped it wasn't packed very well and it appeared as if someone thought my box was heavy being that it was in a big box and it wasn't but the postal worker must have put a smaller heavy box on top and it fell right through you could tell. Anyway this problem cause the dress to rip certain threads so obviously the dress had to get fixed and my wedding was beginning of April and it now was like March 20th. So Becky felt terrible and she was great she assured me that she would make sure my dress was fixed on time and she would overnight it and pack it better even if she had to stay up all night to fix it. I received the dress before April 1st and it was perfect. Better than before I was amazed she nailed the exact design and everyone loved it. I would definitely recommend Becky again and I will most likely be having her make my daughter communion dress because I trust her and she helped make my wedding dress dream a reality. - SB
