“I heard there was a need for a seamstress, and restoration, alteration and upholstery repair. And I thought I can do that. And I have met so many beautiful people. I’m glad we made this decision. It took about two and half years to establish this, and get this to where we are now. we networked for about a year and half doing craft shows. And we were doing it out of our home for a while. We were looking around, and the prices were a little high. Then this opened up for us, and the rest is history. We are so thankful, we did a lot of restoration inside to make it beautiful.” – Debra Sall, Owner, I Love Leathers
