ABOUT

​I am a Seamstress with 25+ years experience with a Harford County home-based business in Forest Hill, Maryland that I have owned and operated for 20+ years.  I started this service in the September 2000 because I love helping people achieve the look they want and deserve at affordable prices.  ​My hobbies outside of sewing are spending time with my family and friends, biking, sports, painting, swimming, watching movies and exploring.

My History

I started sewing when I was a little girl at the age of 7 and was taught the basics by both my Aunt and my Grandmother. As a couple years pasted, my interests grew stronger and would sew whenever I had the opportunity to do so. When I got to Middle School they offered a Home Economics class so I took advantage of having some fun in school. Needless, to say I ended up being the teacher's assistance. I went through Middle, High School, College, U.S. Army and a Medical Trade School. I enjoyed the strengths and expectations of what both the U.S. Army and Medical fields offered, my love of Sewing has always persisted.

For many years, I have made repairs, alterations, crafts and more for family and friends, until one day a friend asked me "Why don't you turn this into a business?" "Oh my...I thought! I have had my calling in front of my face for years." I enjoy helping people, just like you, get what they want and just have trouble finding it. "WOW, What a wonderful gift I was given!" So I am sharing it with you at a much more reasonable rate then most cleaners and other companies out there. Let's face it...we all have different tastes and that is where I come in. Whether it be your curtains, tablecloths, other decor in your home...or your wardrobe,  just not fitting to your satisfaction...I want to be the answer to your prayers!  My Estimates are always FREE* and that is my Guarantee.
I love sewing and take great pride in my work giving you over 25 years experience. I enjoy taking the worry off my clients minds and giving personalized attention.

​So let me take your stresses:

• of finding the style of curtains in the material and colors you want off of your shoulders

• your favorite outfit that you love, so much, and can't wear
• the zipper that is worn out or broken
• the button you lost
• a comfortable coat that needs a new lining
• and so much more.

Give me a call and let's see what I can do for you!
