ABOUT US - We show you
who you are,
literally and symbolically!
Mirror, Mirror!
Why does anyone go to
a tailor? You go because you're falling apart at
the seams. It can be overwhelming to find a skilled tailor
and alterations specialist. When you discover you have a
problem, your garment solution lies in one or more of
three basic categories -- resizing, repairing and restyling.
I'm just the person to solve your garment problems for you.
Because I believe it's part of my job to literally hold up a
mirror for my clients to see their best self-image which emerges
when they are perfectly fitted in their clothing.
Why would anyone have a quilt portrait, legacy quilt or soul quilt made?
A story quilt reflects back to you the essence of your life. So
does the soul quilt, deeply and mystically. Not only am I a
skilled technician of basic alterations, but I am a creative seamstress,
and life stories portrayed in fiber artistry are an important part of my
job. Because, again, it is my purpose to hold up a mirror for my
clients to see themselves, this time symbolically, and it is a
life-affirming experience for the individual commissioning this
keepsake. Please see the Quilt Portraits and Soul Quilts pages
for examples.
Why would
anyone restyle an older garment when getting a new one is so easy?
That's a great question. Think of it as deserving to transform
your clothes closet regrets into favorites that you will actually wear.
Or if your favorite item is not worthy to go out in public, make it
worthy by, for instance, transforming an old sports jersey into a gym
bag, or using the good parts of a worn pair of jeans to make a purse or
"green" shopping bag! The possibilities are endless!
Remember, I possess all
the answers to your basic alterations needs --
like hems, zippers, resizing and repairs. Also
consider me for custom sewing, (such as prototyping an
invention that requires textiles, pattern drafting and custom-fit
clothing), and creative sewing as in the quilts
mentioned above.
I'm here to help, so let
me hear from you before you fall apart at the seams!
