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 comic con costumeI 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.

For Windmark's CoatI am VERY happy with the outcome of my project with Becky. The coat I made looked exactly how I wanted it. Becky is very patient and will take her time to make sure you get what you want with your creation. There was a little size error but she was more than happy to alter it. I would definitely recommend her to anybody looking to make their inspiration and imagination come true!

For Lindsay's Wedding DressBrianna DiPietro
For Brianna's Wedding DressFirst things first - my dress was beautiful and I had so many compliments on my wedding day--it was incredibly unique and it fit my personality and style. The process was difficult at times while it was being made, and I had to get another $190 in alterations when I received it, but the end product was great.
Becky was sick through most of the year she was making it, and this delayed communications and deadlines often. I tried to remain calm, but I was trusting someone in a different part of the country with my wedding dress…so that's hard to do! She definitely listened to what I wanted and made tweaks from her original design based on my feedback, which was great. When my dress came in the mail complete, it smelled of smoke for about 48 hours until it aired out (we figured out it was from the packaging she sent it in - pure panic, but it did completely go away on its own). The alterations I had done were on the sleeves (expected because they were made of tulle and stretched out easily), and then throughout the body to better align the shell and lining of the dress, seams, etc. I also had to get the bustle fixed because it only had one hook and it was ripping off from the weight of the dress when the bustle was put together.
I'll add final photos if I can figure it out - I was very happy with my final product. I'd say you should be prepared to have final alterations added once you receive the dress to make it perfect, but if you're looking for a unique style and one you're not finding in the stores, this is the way to go.
