This is one of those shops that is Co-Located with another shop but is a separate operation. Sow N Sews is a play on words; where they sow (Like a farmer sows seed) the word of God, while they do sewing projects.
In this case, the guy does all sorts of sewing projects that your average dry cleaner or typical alteration shop would not like to undertake to try to do. The kind of sewing that can turn a sewing machine into a expensive paper weight if it isn't done just right.
These folks have sewn everything from Handgun Holsters (ankle, hip, shoulder, in the pant, and drop leg) for me, to my fire gear. They even have the PBI Kevlar thread and can sew on the suede cuffs for the trousers and coat; as well as shorten or lengthen suspenders and reset snaps, fasteners and put on post buttons.
In Muncie or around the surrounding areas, this is by far the best place I have been able to find to come get my heavy duty sewing done. And they made a really nice Field Camo bible cover for a friend of ours to take over to Iraq with him to help keep his bible in better shape while in the combat area.
I have had some really heavy duty industrial quality pager and Cell Phone cases made there that are much better then anything I can find in hardware or Big Box stores.
I have come to start taking my jeans when I buy them to him for hemming too. I have trouble finding my length and now I can find what I find and just take him and he usually does them while am standing there. Quick, really fair, and does a great job.
Pros: Really Ingenious, Fast, Fair, Makes it look easy, Equipped,
Cons: Cash & Carry at this time, Hard to see how to get into?
