Our pine boxes are handcrafted from start to finish! Our standard size, shown in the images above, can hold up to a 16-inch wand or necklace. They can also be used to hold a variety of other objects… really whatever you see fit! They are made-to-order and can be completely customized in just about every way imaginable; size, color, hardware and pretty much anything else you can think of. You also have the option for the box to be felt-lined or not. The inside setting are left unattached so that they can be adjusted to fit whatever object you're placing in the box or even removed entirely. We have pictured a list of the colors that we currently have available and are actively using but are happy to accommodate any colors you might want. We enjoy creating beautiful pieces for your cosplay or storage needs and can't wait to work with you!

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.
Noah Clemons
For Noah's Mens ClothesTony Bud's sewing has very high demand because they work on world class projects and deliver on them. In other words, Art Can't Be Rushed! I came to Tony Bud's with a complicated project involving custom graphic design, fabric printing, and tailoring. Tony Bud's brought it all together for a very special creation. I hope to work with Tony Bud's again!
Debbie Kummoung
For Debbie's CostumeThis project turned out better than I envisioned and was impressed with the quality of work done. Even when there were personal issues, they were still able to get me my dress in a timely manner and kept in communication with me.
Robert Storm
For Robert's CostumeNot every project can go as planned, but the way a business conducts themselves when things don't go right is a testament to character. Becky Armstrong is a example of high character. Excellent customer service and more than willing to work with an individual.
Emily Eaton
For Emily's CostumeI'm happy with final product, very well made. There were some fabric issues and shipping delivery time frame, but both were out of her control.
Sheryl Moore
For Sheryl's CostumeThe project was supposed to be mailed by 12/20/18, in order to arrive by Christmas. When it wasn't mailed on-time, I purchased other Christmas gifts for my son, as I was concerned I was being scammed. I texted the maker, and she indicated that she was shipping the project out via overnight express, and that she has been awake for 36 hours completing various projects for clients. The project did end-up being mailed 12/22/18, but I didn't receive it until 12/24/18. When I opened the FedEx envelope, I immediately got a migraine. The costume smelled horribly of smoke; I am allergic to smoke. When I asked the maker about the smoke smell, she indicated that she did not smoke. Thereafter, she followed-up and said that no one in her home smokes. Regardless, I had to remove the smoke smell, so I asked the maker about care instructions for the project. She indicated to hand wash the item, which I did. When I washed the project by hand with water and Woolite, the blue color rubbed-off of the fabric. I don't know that I can blame the maker for this, as I chose the fabric via various internet URLs that were sent to me. However, I had no idea the fabric couldn't be laundered, or I wouldn't have chosen it (toddlers who wear costumes every day are obviously going to need them laundered.) This project was supposed to fulfill a seven-month-long dream for my son who is nearly five-years-old. I had no choice, but to let him open it on Christmas, regardless. He was surprised, and happy, but immediately remarked that the antenna on the mask were flopping over (not properly secured), and that the blue was rubbed-off of the fabric. Overall, I would have been satisfied, had the following occurred: 1). project been mailed according to the contract, 2). project not exposed to smoke, 3). project made with a fabric that could be laundered, and 4). antenna been secured on the mask. Overall, I am feeling like I did not receive the value that I paid for. I will be leary of working through this website, going-forward, as this was my first experience with CustomMade. sjm
