But that’s just what happened for the former machinist. Mullinix used his wife’s sewing machine to make a bag to go hunting with and the rest is history.
It wasn’t until a sewing shop in town closed that Mullinix rose to the occasion to fill a need. He doesn’t work normal hours at the shop, since it’s a part-time venture. But customers can call or email him to set up a time to meet.
Mullinix makes anything from cot covers to gun cases, filling orders from many different places in town ranging from the funeral home to a church. He even sewed a sort of diaper for horses to keep the streets clean from waste.
Depending on how the business grows according to demand of the town, Mullinix said he would be open to expanding, including purchasing additional sewing machines and hiring new employees.
