About Nancy

Sewing

There have always been two or more sewing machines following me in my travels from state to state.  Learned from my mother, I can say I’ve put some miles on the old Singer.  With publications in SEW NEWS, Philadelphia House & Home, local newspapers, and having taught at the nationally known G-Street Fabrics in Maryland, I am still fine-tuning my craft on a day to day basis.  There is always something to learn.  Whether it is a new zipper installation or hand sewing yards of elegant trim onto luxurious silk, sewing will always be a serious hobby of mine. 

My clients enjoy the latest fabrics available to the trade, custom woven fabrics/trims, personal attention to detail and meticulous workmanship.

 

 

Below.. Proper placement of the custom pattern onto the fabric is crucial before cutting.

 

 

Above...careful ironing of this custom valance is crucial.  A pressing cloth prevents any disasters from the hot iron.   I still have 6 more to do!  They will find their home in a caretakers cottage in Salem New York.

Toile valances add the charm this master closet deserves.

Above ...Scalamandre silk/linen drapes are coupled with a simple silk trim that is hand sewn to the edge.  A picture doesn't do this treatment justice.

of the pillows (this was the only snap shot I took!)
