Arlena’s passion for creative sewing is a legacy handed down from her mother and grandmother:

“At an early age I remember being frustrated when I could not find patterns I liked or did not fit quite right. I started altering patterns to incorporate ideas of my own which created a uniquely personal look that fit perfectly.”

Since then Arlena has perfected the art of “Patternmaking” and honed her skills as a professional seamstress specializing in the custom design of bridal and formal wear. She has a Certificate of Design and belongs to the American Sewing Guild. These qualifications combined with over 30 years of experience result in unlimited possibilities!
