I'm a Floridian-turned-Tennessee gal and a red carpet/live entertainment tailor & costumer with 27 years of sewing experience. I’m also a wild mustang tamer, light roast coffee junkie, and finally, a terrifyingly resourceful entrepreneur… consistently asking herself “but what if it were possible?”





I'm also a student pilot & a huge red wine fan, currently growing my garden in Nashville, Tennessee.




I nervously placed a Brother Project Runway sewing machine on a $30 Craigslist desk, and built a fulfilling, profitable whirlwind of a sewing business that supports a life I love.

Through all the challenges, pivots, and changes as a tailor, patternmaker, costumer, and small batch manufacturer, I’ve truly learned how to profit from the fashion space.

My main thing...

I built Music City Sewing, a sewing company that caters to the entertainment world. MCS has three divisions - red carpet/tour tailoring, softgoods/backdrops, and merch tag/patch application. We tailor rockstars and artists so they can look as good as they sound, we make sure their stage is outfitted too, and we have a hand in helping them sell truly unique and elevated merch.





Outside of running MCS, you can find me covered in thread and playing with rescue mustang, Sterling the 'Stang. I adopted Sterling from the Bureau of Land Management back in 2016, right around when I started my business. Both journeys have taught me so much about the other... it's hard not to see the similarities in running a small business and taming a wild animal sometimes! 

When I'm not playing My Little Pony, I'm hard at work (literally) improving our property we bought right before tying the knot in January. I have so much hope and peace in this little slice of dirt that I get sad on days I don't have time to head out there. Our plan is to finally bring Sterling ‘home’, building a sewing cottage, grow an orchard + vineyard, and inevitably build our dream home. Check out allll those plans over here.

Other side hobbies include:
                    learning languages (my just-for-fun life goal is to speak more languages than your average princess. For real!)
                   
                    flying planes! (private pilot in training)
                   
                    growing an orchard, vineyard, & garden

                    adjusting to my new title, 'wife'. Wanna see the wedding?

thanks for asking.

I've always been an entrepreneur.

in 5th grade, I earned a reputation for starting a subscription-based club for horse girls (the Horse Lovers’ Club 2000!) after school (and before girl scout meetings). we should've known it wouldn't end there.

PROBABLY ON AN INTERNATIONAL FLIGHT, SIPPING SPARKLING WATER AND DREAMING UP MY NEXT BIG IDEA, WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY LOOKING FOR LOCAL FABRIC STORES to explore on my travels.

in hindsight...

currently i am:
