My love for sewing began at around age 8. I loved sewing clothes for my dolls by hand, by the time I was 12 I was sewing on my grandmother's Singer Treadle machine and making my clothes for school. I got my first electric machine in the 70's and made my families clothes and in the 80's I started sewing professionally for the House of Fabrics, in Asheville, NC. Lucille Neilson, the owner gave me a
opportunity to sewing tailored made suits for her. Lucille has taught me so much about custom sewing and helped me become the seamtress that I am today. The last nine years I have worked in the House of Fabrics doing alterations, monogramming, teaching classes and working in the store. After Lucille retired last year. It was time for me to try opening a shop of my own. So in January of 2013 I took the plunge and open my shop at 70 Woodfin Place. I am very blessed to have such a wonderful place to work.
