About K1 Kouture

For me, sewing quality garments has been a family affair that has continued since my grandmother created hand-sewn dresses for me all throughout my childhood until she passed a few short years ago.  As a young child, I remember my Barbie dolls always having the prettiest new clothes none of my friends' dolls ever had, never realizing the sleepless hours my mother had spent to find a way to bring me happiness money could not provide. Later, it was her teaching me to sew, and helping me bring my crazy design ideas into reality for my own horse shows. 

When I started showing more competitively, instead of hustling to order my own flashy rhinestone-studded jacket, I grabbed my colored pencils, sought out the finest fabrics and stones and just got creative!  And now helping my clients bring their own ideas to reality has definitely become one of my most rewarding talents.
