Hello
Welcome to Stitch and Thimble Design and Alterations. I am Jennifer Hill the owner/designer. I offer over 20 years of professional sewing and design experience. Special occasion and Bridal are my specialty, but I am happy to help with any design or alterations need you may have. From hemming pants or curtains to custom design I do it all.
My Story
I grew up always loving to sew, my grandmother began teaching me when I was very young and my love for the art only grew from there. I went on to Study Fashion Design in both Italy and New York before earning a degree in International Fashion Design from the Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC. After graduation I worked with runway designers and got to experience the bright lights of NYC fashion week before eventually moving on to design for some of the top clothing brands in America. Just some of the brands I have designed for are Under Armour, Disney, Quicksilver, Buffalo Jeans and Hurley. After living and working in NY for 10 years my husband and I made the decision to move back to the Midwest to raise our family. Once we were settled back home in Huntley, Illinois, I decided to open Stitch and Thimble Design and Alterations and am now happy to share my skills and fashion experience with the local community.
