Custom Sewing

Ali is a professional seamstress with over 40 years of experience creating couture clothing, costumes and home interiors.

At Urban Nest we have created a signature line of beautiful velvet pillows in many shapes and sizes. All fabrics are sustainably sourced, and the pillows are handmade to your design needs. We are constantly on the lookout for fabrics in a variety of colors and textures to create gorgeous textiles for your home. Ask to see some at your upcoming consultation!

“I am obsessed with textiles, it’s an addiction. I have combined my passion for sewing and fabric with my education in sustainability, to source my fabrics from repurposed and remnant sources. Velvets, brocades, linens and silk, to name a few, create a textural aspect to the design of every room. Textiles bring comfort and warmth in ways that furnishings alone cannot. Let’s talk about your vision for lush pillows and custom drapes in colors and textures that are endless in their possibilities. What I know is that there is enough fabric left over in our world, to furnish every dwelling. With that knowledge I use fabrics that already exist, in order to create stunning, sustainable pieces.” -Ali
