Sewing is my passion.

My first article of clothing was made during home economics class in 6th grade (a while ago now). Many of my high school hours were spent in the sewing room both at school and home.

    Karen is very prompt, professional & affordable. She listens to what you are looking for and really does an outstanding job. I've had her remove pockets from dresses as well as completely recover a chair and ottoman. I highly recommend Karen for all of your sewing needs!
