She made the drapes for her “house on the corner” as well as for most of her children’s homes. Amy sewed the boys shirts and pants and the girls dresses. She made beautiful prom dresses and would tailor store bought clothes to fit perfectly. Amy also did hand-work and made temple aprons for her children and most of her grandchildren when they got married in the temple.
