“Last year, feeling inspired by a sewing machine I was given, I promised a dear friend I would make her a “Supermom” cape- as she is an amazing single mom. Unfortunately for me, I grossly overestimated my skills. I found Rebekah through a friend and she saved my ego and my friendship! I told her my idea, what colors and general feeling I was going for and in a few days she crafted it into an amazing reality. She found just the right fabrics (keeping them washable and beautiful), she knew just what sort of fastening would be best and best of all, she made it with love. I was as blown away by the final cape as my friend was. She was able to receive her gift the day after her birthday, and although the photo doesn’t do the cape justice- the look on her face does! I will be using her services again, for the mundane- hems and buttons- to the amazing! -Mary C.  ~Sammamish, WA

“We were looking for just the right dress, but couldn’t find it in a store anywhere.  We were referred to Rebekah, and had a very short time to meet, select a pattern and fabric – only 9 days!  She was courteous, professional and delivered a beautiful Senior Prom gown for Erin. “ Carla H.

Thanks to two friends, Kay and Lee, I can now make my own hand-built slab constructed geese statues.  The fact they are hand built makes each statue slightly unique. Being made of a finer material than the original concrete normally used for outdoor statuary ceramic makes them significantly lighter in weight and more desirable for gifts.  These statues are available at the local Edmonds, WA Farmer’s Market during the summer or year round at gooseapparel.com where you can purchase the statues and outfits.

The product line of dog clothes that Rebekah envisions is a current work in progress.  If you have any comments or questions about dog clothes,  she would enjoy hearing from you!

Fused Glass Pins

Fused glass pins, my first experience working with glass.

I am 28 year old mother of one. When I was referred to Rebekah Karlen for alterations on my wedding dress, I was also working full time while also planning my wedding.  Rebekah worked with me on my busy schedule for fittings at her home.  She added a bustle for my train and tool in the sleeves.  The dress fit me like a glove. Thank you Rebekah!–
Thank you,

These costumes were a challenge to make because the pattern I started with was not user friendly.  However,  now that I have made all the necessary adjustments for the patterns and sizes,  it has been very easy to make good costumes of the original Star Trek uniforms.     We have had a blast dressing up and going out to movies and restaurants in them.

I truly cherished my Johnny Cash T-shirt collection. For all the wonderful memories, including the time I got to shake his hand. And, also spending time at his shows with my mom and dad. Becka is someone I trusted to take this very special collection and make it into a quilt. Now my T-shirt collection not only warms my heart and soul, but also my body.

Concrete geese dressed as penguins

These outfits were inspired by a very nice lady from the greater St. Louis area who had a concrete goose and also a special fondness for Penguins. When she inquired about the possibility of me making such a penguin costume for her goose, I just happened to have all the materials you see on hand. The body suits are made of vinyl and the red fringe on the scarfs was left over from some western shirts I had made years earlier. They turned out very well and were a big hit around town.
