“Protein Pete” Custom Mascot for Just Ingredients

mcgrewsadmin · November 24, 2025 ·

A new, super flexible, danceable mascot for Just Ingredients and their high energy performer.

Pete danced non-stop during Just Ingredients’ 3-day marathon game show!

This mascot is made with high density closed-cell foam plus crenelated foam to give him that extra “bounce”.

We had his outer fabric custom printed in dye sublimation, to crisply feature Just Ingredients’ product graphics.

We also made him a giant custom baseball cap that he can wear forwards, backwards or sideways!

Wisest Wizard

mcgrewsadmin · November 20, 2025 ·


Stan McGrew here is the wisest wizard at McGrew Studios (or anywhere else). He and my amazing mother are largely to blame for all the crazy creations that have colonized my life. This is what happens when you have an arts-oriented kid and encourage them. Parents, beware.

He asked me for stars on his costume and I replied, “nope”. As a designer, I am also a gatekeeper. But here are some stars in this photo background:)

The fabric in this costume is a fantastic knit called French Terry, from Design Company Fabrics SLC. It’s a fabric with terrific weight, drape, and most of all- texture. We’ve used it in numerous items, from Game of Thrones-style capes and gowns, to other medieval and period pieces, plus in this wizard costume you see here.

Our huge thanks to the great staff and friends at Family Tree for this awesome annual Halloween event!

Custom leather glider tow rope guards

mcgrewsadmin · June 15, 2025 ·

Essential for preventing abrasion on the rope join (where your tow rope drags on the runway).
Custom made in leather, with sueded surface on the outsides, they slide nicely and fit securely over your rope joins.

For Elk Mountain Soaring at Morgan County UT Airport

Slipcovered Head Rest for Schleicher ASW 20BL Glider

mcgrewsadmin · March 8, 2025 ·

If it ‘aint broke, don’t fix it. Slipcover it.

New custom slipcover for a head rest in a Schleicher ASW 20BL glider. Owned by Dan (you’ll really enjoy his YouTube videos:).

Nice, new neoprene cover laces closed on its underside.
Grommets and lacing work much better than a zipper, (yes, already tried it).
A zipper wouldn’t allow enough stretch to put this on and take it off.
It’s cool, moisture-wicking, stretchy and washable.
The only way to fly.

Read the basics about this fantastic German-made glider here…

More specific data and statistics about the ASW 20BL Glider here…

The original upholstered head rest had some wear-and-tear. My dad, Stan McGrew, performed some baseball stitching repairs a few years ago. The head rest is still very structurally sound and in good shape.

Repairs on the original leather upholstery: the baseball stitching keeps these split seams together. The head rest is still holding up well, so we are gonna slipcover it!
Glider season starts here on or about April 1st here! Coming soon!

Info and details about the Morgan County International Airport here- – haha!
