Claudia's Background

Alterations and repairs to custom designing your idea into a fashion forward look, I have done it all. My motto is, “If I can fit it under the sewing machine foot I will sew it.”

I have 40+ years of experience sewing costumes, Wedding gowns, men's suits, business to casual attire, prototypes for industries, home decor of any kind and much much more.

So if you want that special something to become a reality call me and we can make it happen.

Mike's Background

I am Claudia's helper and also her web site and graphic designer. I have placed my web and graphic design portfolio in a different area of this site.

I am being taught to sew by Claudia and it's not as easy as she makes it look. I do find that I really enjoy the re-upholstery projects that we get from time to time. It must be the taking things apart, putting them back together, and the power tools.

I am still very much the apprentice so if you happen to reach me I will defer all questions to Claudia.

This is Our Studio

Our studio is well equipped with several sewing machines for different applications. We are able to sew leather and canvas with the heavy duty industrial machines. For the very fine fabrics such as chiffon, laces, organza, tulle and netting we have machines set up just to handle these hard to sew fabrics.

Our upholstery section is set up to accommodate single stuffed chairs and small love seats. At this time we a not able to take in couches as we don't have the room to fit them. This limitation will be hopefully resolved in the not-to-distant future.
