My lifelong love of sewing began when I was just 9 years old. I have made everything from prom and wedding dresses, to curtains and drapes, to christening gowns and school play costumes, to furniture covers and everything in between. I enjoy taking a simple piece of fabric and creating something that is one of a kind. I can also sew patches on your child's uniform, or hem up some pants in a jiffy. If you have something you'd like me to create for you, please contact me at michelle@justwhatyouneedle.com or by phone at (602) 516-9883.

Karate and Tae Kwon Do
"Yes I Can!"  Well, maybe you can but you don't have time to sew on all of those patches and ribbons for your child's Karate or Tae Kwon Do uniform.  Joining a martial arts school is a big commitment for your child.  I can help you with the sewing work that goes along with it.

Scouts
Patches, sashes, brag vests, uniforms… my son was a scout, so I've done it all and more. Talk to me before you invest in your child’s uniform.  I can help you make it last, and get that uniform ready for inspection!

Costumes for parties, plays and special events
Every child wants that perfect Halloween costume.  Instead of buying something off the rack that every other kid will be wearing, let me make a one-of-a-kind dream costume that is every bit as unique as your child.  I can also create a costume for a school play or children’s theatre production, or a special gown or outfit for holiday events or other special occasions.

Casual sewing
Spruce up your home without spending a fortune. A new sofa cover, curtains, pillows or even a comfy throw blanket can create a whole new look in a room. Looking for something to do with those adorable baby clothes now that baby has outgrown them? I can turn them into an adorable keepsake quilt. For sports fans, I can stitch up a cozy lucky blanket or game day pillow, themed on on your favorite sports teams. Let your imagination run wild!
