From an early age, I had a passion for fabrics and sewing. My great grandfather was a tailor, my grandmother and my aunt were both seamstresses, and my mother dabbled with costumes, décor and clothes.

There always seemed to be a sewing machine whirring away in the background.

Along the way I found myself working in different establishments and gaining experience in the sewing and decorating world. A fabric store, paint store, home décor store, flower shop, and eventually a patio cushion manufacturer; all while raising my boys and sewing for family and friends. After frequent requests for my work, I realized it was time to take the exciting leap into owning my own business.

Sweet William Sewing Company was born and has now grown into a 1000sqft. design workroom with 5 industrial sewing machines set up to tackle many different projects.

With 30+ years of sewing experience, an unprecedented knowledge of fabrics and a flair for mixing and matching, I take satisfaction in keeping on top of the latest trends and colours. Helping customers identify what they want and need for their space gives me great pleasure, as I strive to give common sense advice to suit each individual unique home.

 My priority is providing the highest quality for each client, with attention to detail being my trademark. Customers returning is a welcome reflection of my work.

When I am not in my workroom, I enjoy travelling the world in search of turquoise water and spending time in our colourful home overlooking Lake Erie with my husband, James.
