Lee takes up
mending business
from Hurlburt
by Mark Dykes
Around the home of Melba Lee you’ll find custom curtains, sheets,
chair covers and mink throw pillows – pockets included – all hand-
made by her.
Lee opened her sewing and mending business, Melba Lee De-
signs, last week and has already been busy with customers. She
noted Doris Hurlburt called her last week and chose to refer any
calls she gets these days on to Lee.
Hurlburt said she officially closed up her shop on Jan. 31, but
was waiting for someone to pick it up because she knew there are
a lot of people who would want it. She’s done sewing and mending
for 24 years, and appreciates all the support she received and the
nice people who came to visit.
But, this not the first time Lee has set up a Thermop shop.
“I did have a shop 17 years ago here,” Lee said, “and several of
the people I go to church with remember me from then and were
eager for me to get here.” Born and raised in Oklahoma, she moved
to Thermopolis 17 years ago but was only here for a few months be-
fore her mother became ill and she moved back. “My heart stayed
here, though.” This past July, her daughter brought her up on va-
cation and suggested Lee move back, which she did in September.
She’s aware fashion trends have changed in the time she’s been
away, with clothes being less expensive and more disposable, and
she expects the customer requests will reflect that change.
At her shop, Lee performs alterations, mending and zipper repair
or replacement. “I can also make special designs if I can get a good
enough description of what [people] want. I have made su shades
for the old John Deere tractors. I made one out of Wrangler jeans.
Girls have brought me their mothers’ bridal gowns and asked me
to update them so they could wear them and be in fashion. I made
a Queen of Hearts dress for a prom one year.
“I know that any of the talent I have come from the Lord,” Lee
said, and it’s a passion she’s pursued since she was about five years
old. “I would watch Mama, and then I would just start hand sewing
my Barbie clothes. By the time I was in teh eighth grade I was mak-
ing all of my school dresses. All but about five years of my life I’ve
had a room where I could alterations. I raised my kids doing sew-
ing. I S-E-W and I S-O-W for Jesus. I’m just and old ‘sew and sow.’”
As for prices, Lee said it varies depending on the amount of work
put into a project. She’s got plenty of thread to get the work done,
with several large spools on wall pegs and drawers full of small
spools. “There’s so many shades of every color, you just have to
have a supply.”
Lee is available by calling 307-480-8705

Our view Blast from the Past


Go Bobcats!
As you flip through the pages of this week’s
edition of the Independent Record, you’re sure
to notice that the Thermopolis Bobcats had an
incredible week and we sure are proud of these
young people.
The boys basketball team played a scorcher
against our age-old rival, Worland, and came
out on top.
The wrestling team took a 15 man team to
their regional contest, came home with first in
2A and all 15 of the young men are now quali-
fied for state.
The robotics team had their state competition
over the weekend and not only did well on their
own, they were chosen to be in an alliance with
another team and received a control award for
their efforts.
Robotics team member Krynn McGinty was
chosen for the Wyoming State Dean’s List for her
work with the robotics team, too.
The speech team competed in Worland for
two days, not only winning the 1A-2A division,
but placing second over all, beating out 3A and
4A teams in the process. Every member of the
team was on stage for final awards and every-
one brought home hardware.
Our Bobcats are a source of pride for this
town and we often forget how much effort these
kids are putting into their activities and sports.
There are early morning practices and late night
rehearsals, fundraising and camps, all to get to
this peak of performance.
Here’s a cheer for all our Bobcats!
GO CATS!
