Design & Sewing Studio
Denver clothing designer, patternmaker, master seamstress, sewing content creator
the art of sewing
Making clothing has always been a part of my life. My mother was a skilled seamstress and made me and my brother clothing when we were young. My grandmother started teaching me how to sew, and later costume makers, fashion design teachers, and bridal gown ateliers. After practicing over decades, along side a fashion design career, I present to you, my sewing studio.
With a unique set of skills, experiences, and knowledge of the fashion industry, I share how the so called “lost art of sewing” is very much alive.
