"Hraefn, this set is SICK!
It is AWESOME!
Thank you McGrew Studios!
Adrian Paul, The Sword Experience
"You guys saved my film. We were in a crazy situation and it wouldn't have been possible without you...Thanks so much!"
James Merendino, director: SLC Punk, SLC Punk II-Punk's Dead
"Jennifer McGrew is one of the top costuming professionals. The depth of her knowledge and skills are formidable. If you need to work with the best then you should be calling Jen McGrew!
Bryan Brandenburg, Salt Lake Fan Xperience Comic Convention, Zenerchi
Jennifer is a god among us. The experience she possess from movies, television and plays shows in her work. Walking into her studio I felt embarrassed to ask her to make such a simple costume when seeing the intricate wardrobe displayed all about. The price is very fair for the quality. She makes the experience such a treat. Watching her light up when ideas start flooding in. She clearly cares for her clients and her work. Schedule early, she is a busy busy bee.

Rocky Mountain Rebellion
McGrews is proud to sponsor Rocky Mountain Rebellion and its events.
Our shop makes the custom leather sash and patches awarded to the winners of the Rocky Mountain Person of Leather Competition. Many in the regional leather communities (as you might expect) are fashionably clad in our custom clothing, corsets and gear.
Check out the organization, register and attend its event workshops, and learn more about what a leather lifestyle actually is, what leather communities actually are, and why 50 Shades of Grey is so dead wrong in how it presents its subject matter.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row] [vc_row][vc_column width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”5503″ border_color=”grey” img_link_target=”_blank” link=”http://lukeformayor.com/”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]Wednesday, August 5, 5pm – 6:30pm
