Back In Time

I was just looking at my incredible [Back to the Future] jacket and wanted to say thanks.

Nik W.

Several years ago, Corey was contacted by a movie fan about making a replica jacket from Back to the Future II. It is hard to turn down a challenge such as that, and the results were some of the best that have been seen. The sleeves and pockets are fully adjustable, although not automatic. She also helped to make the hat screen accurate by removing the adjustable feature in the back and inserting a solid piece of the same material.

Deal? or No Deal?

For a month and a half, we lent our support to the wardrobe department during the summer 2018 production of the return season of Deal Or No Deal (2.0!).  In addition to our talents, we rented table top sewing machines, rollings garment racks, and steamers.  This is the longest production we have worked on, to date, and we look forward to seeing how amazing it turned out. Tune in, December 5th, 2018!

Lisa Anderton, Artist

We were recommended for this project by two different associates we met through our commercial film work. A local Orlando artist, Lisa Anderton, has begun to design an accessory and home goods line using her art work as the fabric. In addition to having her art printed on to various textiles, she has also painted directly on to the materials creating beautiful and unique works of art that can be worn or carried anywhere. We have helped to develop and produce items such as: pillows and zipper clutches, scarves and kimonos, table cloths and napkins, and more.

"Ford, I think I'm a sofa..."

Our upholstery skills stem from work we have done for theatre props, but it transitions nicely into the real world.

We gave new life to a fabulous 1980s feather down couch, which is nine feet long. The curved shape required draping in order to successfully cover the custom shape with a slipcover. We also made new covers for the cushions, complete with zippers.

Alex Morgan

This two piece started out with a long bodice and sleeves that were almost twice as big.

This tie neck halter dress was converted to straight straps, and then a little magic was applied to achieve that perfect leg peek.

This shiny number needed a little alteration to the length and a repair to the button on the back.

We were invited to the beautiful home of Alex Morgan to help her and her stylist, Jasmine Caccamo, prepare these looks for the ESPYS and Nickelodeon's Kids Choice Sports award shows. We participated in the fitting and creative alteration problem solving process and then completed the necessary alterations within the same evening.

88 Bed Rolls on a Truck...

We can't really tell you about this little piece of magic, but sometimes our little shop gets packed with a project that is just... massive! We don't let that stop us though! Our team work and cooperative sewing makes these types of projects possible.

Wedding Bib

Corey's cousin was planning to get married, and she joked about needing a bib to keep her dress clean -- Italian food and white were a recipe for disaster.  The joke turned into a beautiful reality, as Corey mimicked the elegance of the wedding dress in the design of the bib.

Theatre Curtain

We were pleased to assist a theatre for which we have both spent many seasons working on costumes - the Orlando Shakespeare Theater.

This time, we were asked to help build the main drape for the set for the repertory production of Shakespeare in Love / Twelfth Night for the theater’s 29th season. We started with 66 yards of fabric and 28 yards of gold bullion fringe for the bottom. It was constructed with 200% fullness, pleated onto webbing at the top. It measured 16' by 28' when completed.

Cruise Line Production of Jersey Boys

We were contacted by ArtSquad to help with some soft goods needed for scenic and prop elements for a production of Jersey Boys. This included upholstering a convertible couch/bed, covering two benches, and creating an embroidered organ cover. Anything that brings us back to our theatre roots reminds us of the skills and techniques we developed years ago.

We were approached with an art inspired textile project -- up-cycle old shirts into a quilt inspired by Gee's Bend Quilts. In addition to the quilt, we created a complementary throw pillow.

The Earl and Dunn + Co.

Sometimes in advertising you need something last minute... sometimes you need something better than what is out there.  We helped Dunn and Co. with their advertising project in Tampa, Fl, by producing a special, made to order, crier coat. Did someone say "sandwich?"

Window Cushion

"Can you make a window cushion with sky blue fabric?"

Yes, yes we can.

Eyes on Arts

When we first met Donna Hedrick, we knew her project was not only going to be fun, but beautiful.   Her vision was to take local artwork and put it onto a wearable garment.   That's where we came in - creating the pattern for the garments.  After the success of our samples of kimono tops, Donna has expanded her wearable art collection to also include ties and scarves.   Cutting Line continues to produce the kimono tops for EyesOnArts.  For more information and how to order, visit eyesonarts.com.

Upcycled Family Heirloom

Completed quilt.

Zipper clutch made from remnants

We don't often make quilts, but the special treasure that they are draws us to these rare projects.

This particular quilt was an early commission, using elements that were inherited by the ladies in the family. Ultimately this beautiful quilt became a new family heirloom for the youngest bride. What was left of the treasured pieces we turned into a zipper clutch for the original owner so she could hold on to a piece as well.
