Artist Statement
“I have been sewing all my life. My mom and grandma taught me how when I was 5 years old. From making my dad’s ties, aprons, and doll clothes; to even my own prom dress out of a bed sheet when I was in high school. I went to college for a degree in fashion and textiles in California, and I went to the Art Institute of Chicago.” I had a lot of great influences in my life with people that had great creativity.
“My mother was avidly in the fashion world and my aunt was an artist from Poland. I have grandmothers with awesome sewing techniques that started back from the 1800’s that I’ve learned over the years. I enjoy sewing and I contribute all my success to all the great mentors in my life from past and present time! I enjoy using the knowledge that I have obtained over the years to help my clients with all their sewing projects. Thank you!” - Susan
