Our Story

Dreams Do Come True

Sometimes I have to pinch myself. I love what I do every single day. I was born into my craft and started sewing when I was three years old. I remember sitting beside my grandmother at her Singer treadle machine and ripping stitches for her hours on end. I believe this is where I learned patience and developed my keen eye for detail. Back then, I wasn't as fond of the craft as I am now. I wanted to go out and play Marines with my brothers and go catch crawdads at the creek but back in those days girls had to learn how to sew. So that's what I did. If I had a wish I would love to tell my grandmother thank you for making me learn. My mother was an incredible interior decorator. She made beautiful custom bedspreads, drapes and cornice boards. She really had an incredible flair for decorating. A lot of my creativity came from my Mom. I know my work ethic and drive came from her!  But the coolest was my Uncle Bill. He had an upholstery shop. His machines were big and fast and could sew through anything. I loved watching him and he loved teaching me. I could spend hours watching him take cars and furniture apart. He could make anything. That's where I started learning upholstery.  That's where it all started. Along the way I've learned new things and ways to do things from many masters of the trade. I am eternally grateful for every person that has helped me and taught me new things along the way. Nothing makes me happier than creating something beautiful for someone and then seeing their eyes light up with joy. This joy along with my children is what gives my life meaning.


I've always dreamed of having a family business making beautiful things for people. When my oldest daughter was a teenager we had a wallpaper company and worked in many of the big beautiful houses on Bayshore Boulevard in Tampa. After a few years I left the creative trades and opened a technology company. I did that for about 16 years and left the business to adopt three babies. That's another incredibly beautiful story all together!


About ten years ago I decided to get back into my roots as a full time professional artisan. I've never looked back and love every minute of being able to pour my passion and creativity into making beautiful pieces for my clients. The best part is my youngest son, Joseph, has my passion for creativity and is the other half of Dorothy Alice Custom Stitchery & Upholstery. Our little shop is growing slowly but surely as we now have two other people working with us part-time.
