An Introduction to Teresa:

Teresa is from a sewing family and began her sewing experiences as a child.  She sewed doll clothes and made clothes for herself.  From there she competed in local sewing competitions.

"The way I learned to sew for myself was by sewing all my school skirts.  After I mastered skirts, I started making all my pants. 

Teresa started a home based business doing alterations and various sewing projects for others.  Her specialty quickly became custom draperies and computerized sewing. 

She worked outside the home as a consultant with the State Agricultural Division in Charlotte, NC teaching 4-H classes/camps and adult sewing classes.  

Paramount Studio moved their Show Services Division to Charlotte during this time.  They contacted Teresa to handle various sewing demands for their theme parks, movies, TV shows and the Paramount Ice Skaters. 

After moving to Johns Creek, GA, Teresa created the "Billy Badge" mascot for the Johns Creek Police Department.

Teresa participates in National Sewing Expos across the country to expand her educational experiences in sewing.

"Sewing has been a wonderful adventure and provided lots of travel opportunities which have enhanced my sewing skills.  I have sewn live flower leis in Hawaii,  studied delicate sewing in Belgium and visited with a woman in Puerto Rico who made bobbin lace for our first lady.  I want to share my knowledge with anyone that likes to create!"
