286 - Theresa Harmon - It's Just Been Easier For Me This Time!
Welcome to the Sew Much More Podcast! The interviews here are with creative business owners, mostly in the Custom Window Treatment, Soft Home Furnishings, and Upholstery industry, but also with others that are sewing related or business related.
Theresa Harmon
is a graphic designer turned one-woman drapery and soft furnishings
workroom. She loves transforming beautiful fabric into custom
creations not found in the mass retail market. Theresa works with
retail clients, a handful of decorators, and her daughter Lee,
owner/designer at Contented Interiors, and her
other daughter Nivette who is her project manager. Her husband is
her admin, on-site measurer, foam cutter, bookkeeper and tax man.
Theresa grew up with an artistic mother who kept her supplied with
a plethora of arts and crafts kits. She learned to sew at summer
camp and through middle school home ec classes and have had a love
affair with sewing and fabric ever since. Her high school guidance
counselor didn't have an answer for how to combine art and math
into a career, and she didn't know she could make a living sewing
so she pursued a BFA in Communication Arts & Design. Thersa's best
art projects are their five children who are now contributing
members of society;)
Theresa is very curious and always asks a lot of questions.
She also loves people and sharing information so she considers
herself a connector. She's had the privilege of being an employment
coach for nearly ten years helping over 100 people get jobs. These
personality traits led her to create and maintain All the Trimmings
Shop where she tries her best to turn clients' dreams into
reality.
