My passion for sewing was installed in me by my mother, who worked for Ratner Corporation in San Diego, California. At a young age, my sister and I were taught to do simple hand sewing and later moving on to the ever popular Singer sewing machine. On that machine, we would sew clothes for our dolls.
   I am the female counterpart of a tailor, having over 30 years of hands-on experience in working with a variety of fabrics. I am able to identify needs and resolve issues. I am able to create/design patterns, embellish and alter. I have had experience in fashion design, costume creation, and bridal party couture. My experience also includes home interior designs, alterations (pillows, curtains, spreads, slipcovers, etc.)
   My experience in alternations includes, but is not limited to hemming dresses, skirts and pants, as well as inseam adjustments and other common alterations and repairs. I have also had experience in mending sleeves on uniforms and sewing on uniform patches.
   I would consider myself to be a perfectionist seamstress and pride myself in giving excellent customer service. A happy customer is a returning customer. I take pride in what I do, and I strive to give the best.
