Professional Summary
I am an Expert Seamstress and can make anything. "Made in America" is my motto. So many things sold today (even designer) are made en-masse in foreign countries. My work is diverse and done totally by me from start to finish. Handcrafting is a lost art. "One of a Kind" should mean something again. I am also a semi - retired hairdresser ( I was Boondi Haircutters on Montague St in Brooklyn Hts for over 20 years) and now work privately. This includes experience in cutting and stying wigs for performers and chemo patients. I also do make-up.
