This studio operates primarily by the sweat, talents and good graces of Jen and Machelle, who think the public needs more quality design and excellent stitching in all their projects.



Our indespensible apprentice and soon-to-be partner is Shelby.



When we have big builds for interior design, slipcover and costume projects, jobbing in are Jaci, Lyra, Kathy, Dwayne, Kathryn and Lisa and Robin, plus many other friends, professional artists, and apprentices who answer the creative call and hang out to collaborate.

Our studio provides resources to many performing arts and dance organizations. We build custom costumes for theater, dance, film, tradeshows, businesses, parties, and special events.

Although we've never applied for official nonprofit status, we often trade our time and/or donate our facilities, machinery and skills to help many individual artists and performing arts organizations.

This studio was started in Salt Lake City in 2001 by Jen, who owned Santa Cruz Slipcover from 1996-1999, serving clients in Monterey and Santa Cruz counties.

She is a trained costume designer - cutter- draper with many years' experience in professional theater and higher ed.   Her graduate degrees are in costume design and performance studies.



She's lived on both coasts, likes to cook, and likes to make beautiful things that make people happy.
