Sewing since I was 8 years old, professionally since I was 16, one might say I have a passion for sewing.
In my career I have traveled many roads along the stitching highway.
It all began with my grandmother's Singer and a summer afternoon...
From that humble beginning, my sewing took on some very creative and challenging roles, including but not limited to...
Bridal: Including alterations, Custom Design & Build.
One Fine Seamstress
My own business where I perfected my Custom Bridal designs and worked on many vintage bridal gown re-designs...ah, bliss.
Costuming: Including Theatrical, Dance & Ice Skating
- Bobby McGee Restaurant chain
- Performing Arts Supply Company
- Center Dance Ensemble/Dance Theater West
- Ballet Arizona
- Ice Capades: James Bond, Tank Girl, Stargate, West Side Story, Pink Panther, just to name a few.
Production & Staging: Including Large Scale Fabric Tension Structures & Theatrical Stage Soft Goods.
I was responsible for designing and building large scale theatrical soft goods including, but not limited to, Cycloramas (20' tall x 45' wide), 1000's of running feet of velour stage drape, 20' tall, giant Spandex sails, and my favorite...a 70 foot long x 10' wide Spandex tunnel that was used as an entrance to a company event! Wild!
