Sewing Services

Cathy began her sewing career early – being given a small sewing machine when she was a preschooler, so that she could sew along at her mother’s side, without breaking the side table of her mother’s machine.   During school she sewed many wardrobe items.   With a career of over 50 years, she has now broadened her attention and skills to many other levels.     

With a serger both domestic and industrial machines in her workshop Cathy can repair almost anything.   The key for anyone seeking services is ‘just ask’.   Likely there is an answer.
