At 5 years old I started begging my Mom to teach me how to sew. She would give me her fabric scraps and I would make clothing for my Barbie doll. I made my first outfit for myself when I was in 4th grade from fabric left over from my Grandma's "stash". (I come from a long line of sewists going back as far as my Great-grandmother!)
I have been a passionate sewist now for over 50 years. I am currently retired and do sewing from my home for clients, family and myself. I make most anything from little girl’s dresses to tailored suits.
Working with local designers over the past several years has given me to opportunity to take on some unusual projects which I find very rewarding. I would love to take on your apparel project and know I will be able to give you a beautiful, custom fit garment.
I am eagerly looking forward to working with you,

Preston Greco
For Preston's Mens ClothesSuanne was nothing but an absolute delight and treat to work with. She was communicative, professional, delightful and fun. The quality and care she put into my project, and for the fair price of it all, exceeded my expectations. If you truly want the best quality at the best prices, Ms. Suanne Collins is the one to go to!
Nancy Spencer

Brynne Weaver
For Prairie DressIt was such a pleasure to work with Suanne! She took on my project for a custom pilgrim style dress and worked with me on every single detail, helping me chose the fabric and style, always keeping me up to date and sending me progress pictures. Even though we had some international shipping issues - she was so quick to problem solve and helped me finally receive it. I will definitely work with her again in the future -- thank you so much Suanne!
Shamus Williams
For Shamus' Womens ClothesSuanne did excellent work. She was quite communicative throughout the entire process, which took several months due to the complexity of my request. Several times I left decisions up to her, since she has far greater experience that I do in this area. The end result is exactly what I asked for. I am very happy with how well she completed my project and I recommend her to others.
Kirk Axley
For Kirk's ShirtsI am pleased with Suanne's work on a rayon bigshirt she made for me. It is well done and made exactly to what I was expecting. And the project was done quicker than I expected. Certainly would like to have other projects done by her.
Christi Williams
For Christi's Kangaroo costume with pouchSuanne was so kind and a pleasure to work with. She was great at making the perfect suggestions for material and communicating throughout the process. I will def use her again. Her work is amazing and our costumes were a hit for Halloween. They came in plenty of time and were packaged with care!
