Meet Lori the Designer
Meet Your Designer: 35 Years of Heart and Artistry
My love for the needle and thread began at nine years old, sitting beside my mother as we crafted my very first dress. That single spark of creativity grew into a lifelong mission: to help women feel beautiful in garments that tell a story.
With a degree from the Virginia Marti of Fashion Design, I immersed myself in the "Creative Cycle"—from the first original sketch to the final, hand-stitched detail. Today, I specialize in the European methods of pattern-making and the intricate placement of Lace Appliqué, ensuring that whether I’m reimagining a vintage gown or refitting a modern masterpiece, the result is nothing short of perfection.
I believe every stitch carries a memory. I’m here to help yours continue beautifully.
"My soul is fed with needle and thread!"
Lori was great. Did a beautiful job sewing a slipcover for us. Helped us figure out how much fabric, what kind of thread to get. Quick turnaround. Great to work with.
