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?
