Hobby & Passion: Custom Costumes
Jun
Let me introduce myself…
I am Lona Smith, originally from Denmark, but have lived in Southern California since 1968.
I started sewing in 1969The Lead-up to Dance…
In the corporate world, Marketing, Computing, Efficiency Expert, Analyst & Trainor were my main hats that I wore for nearly 35 years.
During this same time frame, I got married to a great guy, and we raised two wonderful kids.
Marriage & family is what took sewing to a new level: home decor, Hawaiian shirts & children’s wear. I started sewing knits in 1982, when my son was born, and Spandex in 1993, when my daughter started dance.
Sewing Spandex since 1993Let’s Collaborate…
And create something fabulous together!
Volume costumes…
Daughter Tracy, now a master teacher, opened a dance studio, and the need for costuming, alterations, props & accessories grew exponentially. I also costumed my own students.
Sewing costumes as a hobby allows me to continue my creative niche. Each year, I offer ample time to create each & every costume that I commit to do in a manner that my customers expect: quality craftmanship & an excellent fit, all done with name-brand embellishments & supplies.
