Specialties

I specialize in sewing one-​of-​a-​kind women’s and children’s clothing and household items such as pillows, duvet covers, drapery, shower curtains, table runners, etc.

My clothing are whimsical and unique and are from interesting fabrics and dramatic colors.

For custom orders, you may choose your own colors and fabrics to create items that are unique and special. My prices are reasonable and I can produce well-​made items in a short time.

I can provide references to testify about the quality of my work.

I provide free measurement service, fitting and free pick-​up and delivery. Mail order is also available.

So lets get together to create those special items that are unique and totally to your taste.

History

Established in 1997.

I’ve always loved sewing and watched my mother and grandmother create new items and upcycle old items into new ones.

I like using the natural fabrics in brilliant colors of my Caribbean background, but I can be as muted and conservative to meet a client’s needs.

My business is named for my grandmother who was the original recycler. She never met a flour sack she couldn’t transform into something beautiful. That’s the legacy I aim to recreate.

Manipulating fabric is my passion. I love the brilliant colors of the tropics, the deep blues of the water, lush greens and browns of foliage, the brilliant reds, pinks, yellows, purples and other dramatic colors of. I birds and flowers. I love natural fabrics like cotton, linen and silk. The newer synthetics are also fabulous and I look for interesting textures and patterns which I will sometimes mix.

My eight foot cutting table, industrial sewing machine, serger and other equipment make for great tools in the creative process.
