Update on Sheila at Surles Loan 7-30-08

Today, Wednesday, 7-30-08, I took my leather vest down to Sheila at Surles Loan 4132 Burkburnett Rd, Wichita Falls Texas (right outside the main gate of Sheppard Air Force Base), to get another patch sewn on. While there, Sheila told me she has a website now & that she is also making and specializing in thin military ribbons. (http://www.thinmilitaryribbons.com/cgi-bin/tmr.cgi).
Those of us who had more than a couple of, what we called "hero ribbons" and were forced to wear by regulations, know what a pain in the butt those things could be at times lining up in the correct order, spaced right etc. You guys in the military now, experience the same thing..Well, Shelia now makes the pain in the buttness with putting them on and lining them up, a thing of the past. Here are a few pics I previously posted of Sheila at Surles and these will have to do until I go down there again with my camera. Scroll down for a refresher of where Surles Loan is & of Sheila hard at work. REMEMBER: IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE PICTURE BIGGER, CLICK ON THE PICTURE..




This is Shelia hard at work. She does quality work at very reasonable rates. So reasonable, that I use her exclusively for my vest work. She also does a tremendous amount of sewing on of patches, stripes & other military things for all branches of the military.


This is Sheila & Capt. "Pattie". Pattie is a good friend and we ride with her & her husband Jim quite a bit. She is stationed out at Sheppard AFB and I think Sheila sews items on Patties uniforms too..


Since there are all branches of the military out at Sheppard AFB, Sheila sews on items for all of them, including the USMC!!


Here is a board containing some of the patches Sheila has been given by the troops she has does business with..


Surles loan is located just North of the main gate of SAFB, on the West side of the street. The phone number is: 940-855-3241. Sheila can be reached at 940-636-9565 for info on the Thin Military Ribbons. Give her a call and order up yours today. And don't forget to check out her website:
