Throughout my life, I have been searching for a way to express myself creatively while also helping people. Sewing has allowed me to accomplish both goals.

Tailoring clothing for clients allows me to help people fix items they love so they can continue to cherish them for years to come. In today’s age, we are often led to believe that we need to buy something new rather than to fix what we have. I want to help people remember that that is not always necessary. With my help, we can fix the jeans that are too long, the shirt that has a hole, or the dress that doesn’t fit just right. Each project is different and I love a challenge.

Designing bags and items for our homes from vintage blankets, quilts, and tea towels allows me to express my creative side while also creating something that has utility. The fabrics may just be fun, but the actual utility of the products is where my heart is. I consider everything from weight to where the brand tag should sit based on how we open bags. My goal is to construct stylish everyday items using recycled materials.

I am excited to see where this thread leads.
