I'll let you in on one of the best kept secrets in Denver: You've found the seamstress who values customer service as well as customer satisfaction. I've been in this business for almost four decades and have an extensive sewing background. In 1975 the National Fire Protection Agency ruled that no firefighter or emergency crew clothing could contain polyester because it melts in extreme heat.
Even fabric that contains just a percentage of polyester is dangerous in the right conditions. Polyester doesn't burn, it melts. As it melts it literally melts into the wearer's skin, making it impossible to remove without removing the skin, too. It's a derivative of petroleum (yes, that petroleum that you put in your car!) and is plastic.

About
Report
I was born into sewing. A Colorado native, I grew up on the western slope. My grandmother was a dressmaker and my mother sewed for our family. I learned how to make and "fix" things that included more than sewing at a very early age, and that diversification has continued to serve me well. That, and being blessed with creativity and a boundless imagination gives me the ability to solve fabric related problems on many levels.
Vintage Bridal Restoration and Restyling
Report
We will lovingly replace all torn, worn and stained areas of the vintage wedding gown you have your heart set on wearing, whether it's your grandmother's, mother's, Aunt Cicily's or the one you found waiting for you tucked away in a charming little shop. Each piece is repaired when possible and replaced with an authentic looking fabric, lace or ribbons when necessary.
Leather Repair & Alterations, Vintage Restoration
Report
Unless you're a thrift shop junkie, a well made leather garment is very expensive, so knowing where to take a damaged leather garment for dependable repair can be a blessing to you and your wardrobe. Tears and rips can usually be mended so as to be virtually invisible. Zippers can sometimes be repaired or replaced if necessary and the life of your garment will be doubled.
Embroidered Patch Placement
Report
Embroidered patches have become a significant way for us to show our individuality as well as our affiliations and the pride we take in our associations, whether on our motorcycle or bicycle gear, our hats and caps, our bags and our backpacks. The importance of patches for the members of the military and police for instant identification is increasing.
General Alterations & Repair
Report
Almost any garment can be altered to fit well and clothes that fit well make you look better and can even make you look 10 - 20 pounds lighter! Next time you're getting ready to dress for "success", take a few minutes to look in a full length mirror. I know, that can be painful for some of us, but it will be worth it!
