I have been sewing for over 10 years. I have worked with all types of materials making all types of pieces. Corsets are one of my specialties. I also am experienced in altering garments and altering patterns. My rates are very affordable but they vary according to the complexity of the project. I have pieces that I have made and would be willing to bring them to a personal meeting. I also have a portfolio with my sketches, as well as an online portfolio. I am a professional worker and I sew accurately, in respect to deadlines.

Ladies, are you tired of shopping and not finding anything in the stores that suits you or your children?
Men, do you have a bunch of shirts with missing buttons?
That jacket you like still has a broken zipper?
Do you have a picture in your mind of a dress or outfit that you know would look great on you but you cannot find it anywhere?

With today's economy, why not take up sewing to save money on gifts, home decor, clothing, mending and uniform patches. Sewing lessons in Carol Stream $10/hr if you bring your own machine; $15/hr if you use one of mine.

I have 40 years of experience in pattern–making, tailoring, and home decor. I graduated from Valparaiso University with a BS in Fashion Design and Merchandising. I have worked in managerial positions in the clothing production industry as well as owed and operated retail stores.

My name is Tanya Alyshea. I graduated from Fashion design school in Russia.
