Bragging Grandma

About me

Location	East Rochester, New York, United States
Introduction	I have been a professional seamstress and custom fashion designer since 1980. My first client was BARBIE by MATTEL!ha ha I soon moved on to real people! I then sewed my way through college. I fixed a lot of ripped jeans, broken zippers and holes in cushions created by "smokers!" As I was doing this my sites were set on earning a degree in business, I never dreamed it would be my own business. I now alter bridal gowns from 'High-End" to "Heirlooms" and EVERYTHING in between. My design work now includes shawls, wraps and veils. I live in East Rochester with my husband of 32 years and our teenage son, James. We also have a daughter and Son-in-law Jenalee and Adam who just made us GRANDPARENTS!! Jaiden James was born on January 14, 2008.
