For more than 35 years, Irene Hurley Designs has focused on the art
of couture sewing techniques, incorporating artisan details such as
applique, fabric manipulation and quilting into custom window
attire and interior accessories. Irene’s ability to both envision
and create a truly unique, custom product has become the hallmark
of this boutique sewing business, located in Sea Girt, NJ. Irene
also works with clients on color selection, furnishings and
commissioned work through local craftsmen. The studio hosts
workshops in Celtic Applique, Heirloom Sewing, and Memory Quilt
Basics.
Irene studied Fashion Design at FIT (New York), Interior
