Seamstress/ Costume designer and creator. Professional Alterations. Specializing in formal and Bridal Alterations. Costume creation and custom designs.

Need your bridesmaids dress altered in a hurry? Give me a call! Have a costume party coming up and want to be the belle of the ball? Bring me an idea and I'll see if I can make it a reality. I began sewing at age 8 when my mother sat me down in front of an 40 year loved Brother machine and taught me the basics. I did a great deal of hand sewing which included cross stitch projects as well. In coll

ege I volunteered in my theater costume shop for a year before I was transferred to the costume shop crew where i worked for the remaining year and a half i was in school. This time truly reminded me of my love of sewing and I started doing more projects on my own. In 2011 I started working at Davids Bridal where my skills were increased exponentially working as an alterations specialist. I worked on thousand dollar dresses on a regular basis and learned how to alter clothes both quickly and efficiently. After a year and a half I left Davids Bridal to pursue my independent sewing business which I now run out of my home. Please feel free to look through my photo albums for examples of my work.

Hello everyone! I know it’s been a while but I wanted to share my most recent project. For Purim this year my co-teacher and I decided to do a Wizard of Oz theme with our 4 year old class. So of course I had to make 14 pairs of flying monkey wings!

Right before my vacation I got an S.O.S. from a dear friend that she had a friend that had her wedding dress butchered by a seamstress who did not know what they were doing. I had just had carpal tunnel surgery so I couldn’t do the sewing but as someone with 10 years experience with bridal I could coach my friend who is an amazing seamstress on how to fix it. The more you look at some of these pictures the worse it gets. The first picture is how it should have looked. The following is how it was returned to her. It took more than 25 hours combined labor between me and my friend to salvage this dress but as you can see from the last picture our bride left smiling and feeling amazing about her dress.
