About Me
Hi! I'm Karrie.
For more than 30 years, I’ve dedicated myself to the craft of sewing. What began in my teen years as a creative curiosity has grown into a lifelong passion — one that now spans alterations, garment construction, bag making, and the care of beautiful vintage sewing machines.
My training includes specialized alteration instruction from respected seamstress mentors and schools in Ottawa, along with formal machine repair certification through Artisan Training (Level 4 for sewing machines and Level 2 for sergers). This combination of hands‑on experience and technical expertise allows me to confidently service and maintain a wide range of vintage models. I love the engineering and personality of older machines, and I’m committed to helping others keep theirs running smoothly for years to come.
Today, I offer a range of services designed to support sewists at every stage of their journey:
- Alterations — from fine‑tuning fit to refreshing well‑loved garments
- Vintage machine servicing — cleaning, tuning, troubleshooting, and preventative care
- Group maintenance seminars — practical, confidence‑building instruction
- One‑on‑one workshops — personalized guidance tailored to your goals
Whether you’re perfecting a favourite garment or learning how to care for your sewing machine, my goal is to provide knowledgeable, reliable, and friendly support. If you share a love of sewing — or are just beginning — I’m here to help you every step of the way.
I’m located in Stittsville, Ontario, proudly serving Ottawa and the surrounding area.
