Testimonials:

 

I outfitted my living room in balloon shades by Kate...and loved them so much that I had to hire her again to do drapes and valances for my dining room! I am not exaggerating when I say that Kate's curtains have completely transformed my rather soulless new construction apartment into a beautiful home. Thanks Kate! I wish I had more rooms for you to do!

- Guilaine S.

 

"Kate is so wonderful to work with. She is such a talented seamstress with a great sense of style and ideas. Kate created items for my nursery and living room that turned out just as I had imagined. Her turn around time is really quick too!"

- Sarah V.

 

"Kate is a true pleasure to work with.  From the beginning, she is responsive, professional, and passionate about creating just the right piece for her clients.  I am so thrilled with my beautiful custom slipcover and pillowcase, and would certainly work with her in the future and recommend her to others."

- Sarah H.

 

"Kate's a true gem. I've worked with her on a few different

occasions, and she's been spot on every time. She's hugely pleasant to work with, an absolute perfectionist, invested in and excited about each project. She gives great advice and has gone out of her way to work with my sometimes challenging timelines (although I'm sure she wouldn't want me to advertise that!). I very honestly cannot speak highly enough of her. Thanks, Kate!"

- Laura A.

 

"My fabrikate experience was excellent. Kate worked with me to get the design and concept perfect and I don't know what I would have done without her. I can't wait to think up another project!"

- Tamara

 

"What can I say?  Kate made me an amazing velvet cover for my vintage couch, and now I have the swankiest couch in the city. Kate really knew her stuff, and delivered in a very quick turnaround. She was fun to work with, and helped me make creative decisions to solve any issues. I can't wait to work with her again for any upcoming project. Thanks Kate!"

- Yuma M.

 

"I was so thrilled to find Kate's services. She created amazing velvet drapes for my salon changing area as well as covers for our lounge daybed and oversize cushions. She was fast, reliable, knowledgeable and an incredible problem-solver. It was probably one of the most painless experiences I've had in my 8 years dealing with vendors and service professionals."

- Simone Saint Laurent, owner
LAICALE Salon (Soho, NYC)

 

"Kate is great!  She is wonderful to work with.  Kate really listened to what I was looking for in terms of design and use, and with her expertise and creativity, produced the most gorgeous pillows!  Everyone who comes over "oohs" and "ahhs" over them.  Kate really loves what she does:  it's apparent in the detail and expertise of her work."

- Jenna R.

 

"Kate's love of fabric and design is palpable. My daybed is fit for a sultan with luxurious custom pillows and cushion covers. The expansive velvet drapes she made are elegant and hang perfectly.  Kate turns yardage into whatever you can imagine and spoils you with personal attention."

- Melissa W.

 

"I loved working with Kate, her work was impeccable and she completely understood the special techniques I wanted her to use."

- Barbara I.

 

"Kate used her impeccable taste to create curtains that were everything I imagined and more. The handmade curtains are remarkably well done, not to mention the focal point of my living room."

- Wendy I.
