Welcome to a'dressing the past fine custom sewing by Melanie Marlow!

My family and I are kept very busy with our small cattle ranch in Eastern Oregon; however, I have always found time to sew custom garments for family and friends.

I started sewing seriously 15 years ago and so am very pleased to be able to bring this website to you! There will be more in the catalog from time to time, so check back frequently.

I really enjoy creating "era correct" clothing, and as such, I have access to numerous patterns for re-enactments, theater, SASS or personal costuming, as well as special occasions. While I do a large amount of historical garment sewing, I am frequently asked to sew other projects from dresses and rodeo court costumes to camoflage hunting shirts and kids summer clothes.

I am looking forward to meeting new people and visiting with you about your ideas and special sewing needs.
