Sure, I wanted a Titans jersey. But not enough to pay for it.
So I made my own. Definitely an uno.
Number 89, my all-time favorite Titan. His name is on the back, of course.
I love to sew for Tahra. First, because everything looks great on her. And second, because it sets me free from my usual boundaries: comfortable, not-so-trendy, and generally un-sexy.
This vest was her idea. I used 2 pretty scarves to make a flowing vest. She added buttons at the sides. (Why didn’t I think of [...]
Here are the beautiful Yvonne and Keira in coordinating dresses. I’ve heard that little girls love to dress like their mommies, so I made these for Yvonne’s birthday.
Too late I found out that Keira’s favorite color is pink. Still, she looks pretty happy in her lilac sundress.
What do you give to the gal who has everything?
I made this dress for Tahra’s birthday a few years ago. It’s a simple sleeveless dress. I added an overlay (bib?) to the bodice, and added a fringe of beads on the bodice and hemline.
She looks great in it. And since it’s an uno by sumo, [...]
It was Zirah who said ” I’m sure that a well made handbag could, in its own way, somehow make the evolutionary process easier.”
Zirah is, admittedly, not a purse girl. And I’m not out to convert anyone. But I thought she might just like this cute little mini-purse. She can think of it as a [...]
Our supervisor Rosemary is retiring after 39 years. We really hate to see her go, but she certainly deserves some time to herself.
I made this bag so we could all sign it. The shell is khaki canvas, with silk trim from a thrift store men’s shirt. The handle can be doubled and carried short, [...]
My dear friend (and sister) Linda loves pink and green. She says that when she sees them together it makes her heart sing. And just as her birthday was approaching, it occurred to me that nobody deserves a heart-singing pink and green uno by sumo more than she does.
I found a pink and green striped [...]
My dear friend Tahra showed me this beautiful piece of Egyptian print fabric, and I guess she saw me drool, because she gave the fabric to me. I made it into a skirt for my mom, and lucky for me, she didn’t care for it, and gave it back to me.
I made it into a [...]
Kika is beautiful, exotic, and sophisticated, and I hope that this uno by sumo purse is perfect for her.
The shell is made of black & white cotton toile with black dupioni silk, bonded to cotton canvas. The front features a removable drop of black and red beads.
The lining is black & white poly/cotton gingham, with [...]
These handbags are basically the same, except for the fabric and trim. Each is one of a kind, because I won’t make another bag of the same type in the same fabric choice.
I call them uno by sumo, which is the guarantee that nobody else will be carrying your bag.
Each bag features a print fabric bonded [...]
