Lorraine’s This2That

Let me introduce myself my name is Lorraine Giannetto-Glach and I’m a designer of sorts.  I like to take the obsolete and make it unique by repurposing it and making it a one-of-a-kind; I want to be the plastic surgeon for your wardrobe! I design patterns for the beginner sewing enthusiast, making them fun, fast and unique so you want to sew, make more and share your new talent.  I’m a huge fan of recycling, repurposing and redesigning what’s already in your closet. A great way to save some bucks and save the landfill; it’s has two-fold benefit. I have sewn for most of my life it has been therapy for me!  My heart’s desire is to be a fashion designer of the everyday fashion, practical yet unique and comfortable. I have gotten frustrated with patterns even to this day with all the hours I have under my belt so I try and keep my patterns simple and FUN!  I have YouTube videos of some of the steps I found might be hard to understand plus I’m only an e-mail away if yo...

This quilt was made for Joyce P.  Since she plays and loves volleyball she wanted a way of keeping and treasuring the memories she thought having a quilt made was the perfect way to do just that.  Originally it was going to be a 4x5 quilt  blocks but she had several t-shirts that only had a small print on them so I cut and stitched them into a row and made that the vertical center that you see and still kept the quilt a rectangular shape.  She was extremely happy with how it turned out!

This was a lot of fun to do!! Not to bad for our first time acting.  Let me know your thoughts.  For the Best Prime Rib in town check out DJ's!!  Check this out  http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=oVMLwhhLqJg

This is a wonderful article about my passion.  Please read - I hope you enjoy it!

It all started while playing with some metal zipper that I removed from a garmetn because it didn't work properly.  I dislike throwing away anything that might have a use.  As I worked with a couple of ideas the jewelry pictured here evolved from just playing.  I have got a lot of positive comments and I have actually sold a piece.  Please consider giving something unique Made in the USA. Thanks!
