Wife, mother, dressmaker, dreamer.
I began sewing at the age of 9 with a simple patchwork quilt. I still remember sitting at the kitchen table with my mom's green singer, learning how to control the speed and sew in a straight line, all at the same time! My mom and grandmother taught me by allowing me access to their scrap boxes and "stashes" of fabric. Now, a few years later, with my children grown and pursuing their dreams, I find myself pursuing my dreams here in The Fitting Room & CO.
Along with the teaching from my mother and grandmother, I also had the privilege of working for a Saks Fifth Avenue Tailor in Bethesda, have taken continuing education classes and am continually working at honing my skills and learning new techniques. I have spent my life experimenting with fabrics and patterns, making everything from dresses for my daughter to hunting clothes for my husband and sons. It is a creative outlet, a craft, a skill.
The Fitting Room & Co is my vision of sewing, dressmaking. bringing to life apparel that "fits" you, who you are, what you are doing, where you are going. The Fitting Room & Co is about fitting you, not about you fitting your attire.
I look forward to meeting you and working with you on your clothing needs, be it your bridal gown, the jeans you need hemmed, or a special project you have been mulling over in your mind.
