Your Seamstress is Judy Ritter.

I've lived all my fifty-something years within 60 miles of Cleveland.  I love Ohio, even the blankety blank snow.  And I love to sew, without question.
I've been sewing since I got married(--and a little for one semester in home economics class--don't ask).  I saw a pattern for a blouse that was light and airy...I wanted one, bought the fabric, a needle and a spool of thread, made every stitch by hand, and loved it!  My husband apparently liked it too, because I had a brand new sewing machine within a week.  I've never looked back.

{My late grandmother Hilma taught me how to embroider, knit and crochet when I was 8 and I've not been bored one moment since then.  No one was allowed to touch her treadle machine, but I watched for hours, and my mother allowed me to use her electric Singer when she felt I was able to sew without hurting myself.  I made a green dress for my one doll and never touched her machine again.}

Heirloom sewing captured my heart and imagination over 13 years ago.  It all started with a PBS show called "Martha's Sewing Room".  After half an hour I was hooked.  And who doesn't love to sew baby clothes?   It's the perfect vocation for me. 

I am privileged to have sewn over 1600 christening gowns (sew far) for babies all over the world.  pun intended

I chose "Whiteworks" as the name for my christening gown business because that is the traditional style of sewing/embroidery used for constructing and embroidering christening gowns--especially in the Victorian Era.  I sometimes feel I was born a century too late!  We can do this much faster by machine now! 

    So if you've decided to start a family tradition with a lovely baby gown let's talk!  I would love to help you design a new heirloom for your family. 

I make each gown to order, one at a time, and love every moment, hoping for a perfect fit and comfortable garment for each baby I help dress.  Thank you for letting me help make Baby's first formal occasion a little bit more special and personal.  If you have a dream of a gown in your head, let's talk.  I'd love to make it happen.
