Driven by a lifelong passion for sewing, I transform fabric into art. From crafting doll outfits at ten to creating bespoke designs today, my love for this craft continues to inspire me. I offer professional sewing and repair services, including emergency same-day options.

Meet the Seamstress
Driven to Stitches is fueled by Lila’s lifelong passion for sewing, which began at age ten making Barbie outfits and evolved into designing her own clothes by fifteen. Her love for textiles led her to study fabric chemistry and flat pattern design in college, where she also started offering alterations and custom designs.
Lila's work spans from collaborative designs with her daughter to custom menswear and even award-winning bridal creations. She enjoys crafting unique costumes for events like Halloween and Comic-Con and offers sewing lessons to help others create well-fitted, personalized clothing.
