I'm the owner and premiere designer of LesAnn's Creations! I was introduced to sewing at a very young age by my "Auntie" Mary L. Carter. I would sit at her feet as she consistently sewed for a social club in which she was a member. I was fascinated and knew this would be a niche for me!

I have sewn for 35-plus years and done alterations for approximately 12 years. I list these skills separately as it takes a totally different skill set to alter garments and make these items look as if they had never been touched.

I have sewn mostly for family, friends and church members over the years. In the last 7-10 years I have ventured out more to challenge my sewing skills. I made the decision to create a company to market my sewing skills with others outside my comfort zone. Thus, LesAnn's Creations was birthed.

I had a wonderful learning experience working for a designer whose work has been displayed at Columbia Style week 2012 and 2013 as well as Style Exhibition 2013. I was thrilled for the opportunity to experience a taste of the ever evolving fashion world! I knew after this adventure that I could no longer stand in the background of others success but I needed to stand in the foreground of mine.

So my skill set I say is a mile long...lol! What I love to do is create and draft my own designs or replicate a version of some article of clothing that I seen for myself or others. I have designed and created trendy, casual clothing, sleepwear, semi-formal and formal clothing for all ages but my passion are dressing curvygirls! Contact me and let's collaborate on that dream outfit inside your mind's eye. Give us, LesAnn's Creations the chance to produce something uniquely you!!
