About Us

Hi, I’m Jennifer - design consultant, maker, and manifester. 

I am a mother of three, a wife, and a passionate entrepreneur. Sewing, dancing, and connecting with people has always brought me joy. My life is full, hectic, creative, and blessed.

I have worked in the textile, fashion and home décor industries for over 20 years and my experiences have allowed me to build a company focused on superior customer service and quality home products. 

I thrive on the creative problem-solving process and enjoy coming up with solutions to challenging design dilemmas. I love that my career offers variety and allows me to stretch my potential every day!

The Workroom

Our trade workroom houses six industrial sewing machines and two large cutting tables. Our custom products include quality finishing techniques that set them apart from the ready-made market. Such techniques include double-turned and blind-stitched hems, weighted seams, pattern matching, hand sewing, hidden zippers, and fabric-covered cording.

 

The Showroom

Our office and showroom houses a variety of designer fabrics and trimmings as well as decorative drapery hardware. We also offer Hunter Douglas and other brand shades, shutters and wood blinds. We cater to the trade and encourage interior designers, architects and builders to contact our main office to schedule a convenient time to view our library and discuss specific custom fabrication needs.

Our Mission

We believe that to live well, one must have both an awareness of and an appreciation for the details surrounding them. As detail-oriented artisans, we practice what we preach.

We seek to understand how fiber properties affect a fabric’s ability to perform in an upholstered object or a finished drapery treatment.

We spend time searching for that “perfect” glass bead trim that will catch the light and make it dance around the room. We'll even go so far as to template a custom-shaped seat cushion for a specialty fit.

We make significant choices at very fundamental levels of the design process, crucial decisions that significantly affect the performance and outcome of the end product and the user’s experience of it. These details are important to us and are exactly what set our products apart from the ready-made market.

Together, let’s savor the details.
