ABOUT US ALL

Mirror, Mirror! Think of each page as a mirror which advances to deeper reflections of yourself.

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.

Alterations for Kids & Pets? Yep! Not only do I alter kids' and pet clothing but I handcraft my own designs. See the Kids & Pets page.

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!

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 Dance to Heal pages for examples of Dancing Fabrics and Healing Fabrics.

		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 for all your expansive ideas including the the quilts mentioned above.
		Hours: 7:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m. M-F, 8:00 a.m. - noon Sat., by appointment only. Please call 651-351-9609. Let me hear from you before you fall apart at the seams!
