ABOUT US

We are a sewing and tailoring business located in Kamloops , British Columbia, Canada.
Sharon MacLaughlin is the most experienced amongst us. She has been sewing since she was 13. Laura Tkachanko, owner, has masters in teaching and went through two year tailoring and dressmaking courses in USSR. Dina Zamaletdinova, 24 graduate of business, keeps an eye on all business matters and adds, young and fresh perspective to our team. Also, we would like to welcome Tanya Wheadon – our new and very creative team member.

Locally, our shop offers variety of sewing and tailoring services including alterations of regular garments, special occasion dresses, bridal and graduation gowns and more.

This website is a dedication to my grandparents. My Grandfather used to be a math teacher and Grandmother was a local tailor. They taught me everything they knew and always insisted that I pass the knowledge to my children and I did. But now, I thought, it wouldn’t hurt to take it even further.

By taking advantage of new technology, by having learnt about teaching from my Grandpa, I would like to pass the dying art of sewing and tailoring from my Grandma to all of you.
