Formal Member

Therese Pitzulo is a Seamstress with over 20 years of professional sewing.  Alterations is her specialty--bridal and special occasion--for over 35 years. Brides ask for added detailing and custom bustles. Creating keepsake pieces from vintage bridal gowns is super fun for Therese--to get a box of old gloves and hankies, etc. and be asked to put them together into something cool for the bride with no direction--just total trust--happens all the time. Years of costuming has increased her confidence with unusual fabrics, sewing techniques, coloring, and otherwise manipulating clothing for all body shapes.  She worked over 20 years in drapery and window covering fabrication.

Therese’s favorite task to do in her business is “sewing, definitely!”  Her goal is to provide a local/regional seamstress shop where people love to come.  Additional goals include maintaining a loyal customer base, making her own hours and being in demand in a beautiful new shoppe.  In terms of growth, she is always interested to see what others are charging for custom work, because it is always challenging to price work.

Therese has a wide assortment of machines, including embroidery.  She can be found at her brick-and-mortar location, at her home studio, and on her Website at modistecoutureyo.com.
