Stitches in Time and Piccadilly Pockets ...

 

25 years ago, I lived in another time.  And I never really came back.

 

I've lived in the Renaissance, Jane Austen's England, the American Frontier, the American Civil War, the Victorian and Edwardian Eras ... and I've created both fashion and function for every day life in every era.

 

I've learned through my journey a balance between beauty and function is the fabric of life.  

 

No matter whether you are seeking a dress that is for that one special day, you're looking for pieces to add to your own amazing style, or you want an entire fanciful ensemble designed for you ... I do it all.

 

Design, sewing, alterations ... let me know what you're looking for, and let's find inspiration together!

 

And yes, I do wedding alterations and bustling!  Get in touch to schedule piccadillypockets@gmail.com.

 

Design and Production Services

 

My first dress.  I was 16.  I picked a pattern, sewed it, and excitedly put it on ... it didn't work.  I learned quickly how to change a pattern to make exactly what I want.

 

Since then I've copied period clothing, copied Victorian designer clothing from drawings, and just picked up pieces of fabric and made them into exactly what I want.  Fabric is my sculpting media.

 

You might see a piece of fabric and imagine, but not have the means to bring your idea to life.  You might see a one of a kind piece you admire, and want it for yourself.  But of course, make it your own at the same time.

 

What's your inspiration?  Get started by viewing my gallery, then get in touch!

Alterations and Tailoring Services

 

I have loads of experience in wedding alterations and tailoring ... because when people you know also know you can tailor, you get asked!

 

I don't think you should have to pay as much to alter a wedding gown as you did to pay for it.  That's crazy!  

 

I also don't think your bridal party should have to pay a ton to be part of your special day ... and I know you don't either.

 

So let's make alterations simple and affordable.

 

And tailoring isn't just for weddings.  Ever trying to find pants that fit off the rack?  Enough said.  E-mail me to schedule an appointment!

Ready-Made items ... Request our shop at your event!

 

I do spend a lot of time designing for customers, but sometimes I just let fabric inspire me.  I blend modern looks with Victorian Style ... and fuse it all with practicality and wearablility in mind.  

 

Pockets, pockets, pockets is the theme.  Wearing a gown?  You feel great, but you don't want to shove your phone, tissues and lip gloss down your bust?  You need pockets.  Where else can we put pockets?  Your belt, your hat, your ankle ... yes!

 

My favorite clothes?  Either leggings or skirts.  You too?  Let's figure out how to get you pockets so your keys and phone get off your chest and somewhere more appropriate!  I've got you covered.
