i went home this weekend for our annual church convocation and spent time with my family. when my sister and i were babies and toddlers, my mother made all of our clothes. matching clothes. boys and girls sailor outfits...lol
Momma GWH made this dress for a dear friend of mine who wore it this weekend during our annual church gathering. the client, Lady C, chose this beautiful golden satin and shimmery fabric and Momma used her 30 plus years of sewing to put it all together (i will show more of it later).
remember this coat, hat and bag Momma GWH made for herself last year?

Lady C looks fabulous. The dress, the fit, everything is gorgeous. Your mother is very clever. I have 2 girls - 6 and 8 - and I would love to be able to sew for them. My mother sewed all my 'good' clothes when I was young and I never appreciated it. I sure do now. Love the dress and love your mum's coat - so glamourous. Annie x.
Wow, Rashon, I love the coat and hat your Mom made for herself! What a talent ~ I'm lucky I can make pillows!
So your talent is inherited from your mother, right? She sure can sew. I can't wait to see more of her creations.
Hello Rashon,
You have to love a lady with some killer sewing skills!
I am so happy to see home sewing making a comeback.
More Mamma pics please ;->
Enjoy your day

PS...I am a devoted thrifter. I never miss a 25% off everything Wednesday at my local Salvation Macy's!
So the apple doesn't fall very far from the tree...talented lady!! Sigh, I do not sew but admire those who do and do it well!
Blessings!!
WOW! Your mother is amazing! My mother also made clothes for us when my two brothers and I were little. My favorite was a blue dress with Ariel from the little mermaid embroidered on it. (Gee, think I'm a child of the 80's? ;)
Such a chic mom you have, I recently discovered my mom has a creative side too, she never showed me she could make things using the sewingmachine.
hurray to the suporting and creative moms!

So sweet! My mama used to make all of our clothing when we were kids too. And she's the one who taught me to thrift! (Mostly because we were always broke) But it taught me some amazing thrifting skills!
So glad I just discovered your blog!

Your mother is so talented. her coat is sharp. My mother also made clothes for me when I was younger. she even made my wedding gown.
Momma GWH is wearing that houndstooth like nobody's business!! I LOVE IT!! That coat and hat are fabulous honey! She hooked her friend up with that gold dress! Awe man now that I am into this fashion thing oh how I wished I'd learned to sew! I grew up COGIC and have never been to the convocation but my home pastor and wife go every year! I so wish I could make it to your Houston event this weekend...I'm in Dallas! Kiah
I LOVE a man who loves and respects his Mama......
That is where you get your creativity, what you have is a gift, it can not be learned! I just love what you do, wanna be like you when I grow up!!
