I was born and raised here in Lebanon County Pennsylvania.

My mother taught me to sew at a very young age. By 16, I was making dresses for my mother and sisters. Winter of 2001, I made 40 dresses for my family.  Other items I’ve made are shirts, baby blankets, purses, backpack, quilt tops, aprons and memory bears.

 In 2014, I became the head seamstress for Yorgeys Fine Cleaning in Lancaster Pennsylvania. There, I altered and repaired all types of clothing, including formal wear, and household items.

 In 2019, I began building my own business. Now as Delightful Threads, I can serve you by repairing and altering your clothing and household items.

      Your local seamstress,
