Introduction
Hello! I am a seasoned fashion designer offering private sewing lessons, alterations, and bespoke designs. I have experience in making custom pieces for my clients from concept, to pattern making, to construction. I am currently working on my first collection for my new brand, TheRēdue, but I am still accepting custom orders.
After I graduated from FIT in New York City, I have always wanted to make a positive impact in the industry by sharing my knowledge of high end sewing techniques, pattern making and garment design. I want to help my students elevate their sewing skills. Whether it is as simple as learning to sew on buttons, or making a completely new garment, I am your expert and am ready to help you achieve your sew-ist goals.

Marina is professional and gifted as a seamstress. Given only a four day notice, she guided me in purchases and styles and fit the clothes to my body. I highly recommend Marina, without hesitation. Liz

I brought my favorite coat to fix the trimmings all over. The coat is not that expensive but I really like and it's hard to find the same kind of design here in US.
She is soooo professional, very very fashionable and super pretty! She gave me the rough quote when I brought. I paid about half as deposit and less than 1 week, it was ready.
I already brought 2 more skirts to fix.
She might be slightly more expensive than any of those alteration places but it's totally worth. When I saw her, I was totally comfortable and trust her.
If you have your favorite clothes you need to fix or modify, she is the person to go!
Thank you so much Marina!

Marina has helped me tremendously with various projects including outfit designing, clothes altering and directing poses for my photo shoots. She is among the most talented, creative and effective professionals you can find in the industry and always strives to tailor your artistic vision to your resources. On top of her professional skills as a fashion model and designer, she is the most friendly person and was the easiest to work with in my experience!

I can’t recommend Marina enough! As a complete beginner, I came in wanting to learn how to tailor clothes to fit me perfectly—and with her guidance, I ended up creating a super fashionable cape I’m so proud of. She makes every sewing class fun, patient, and perfectly tailored to your level and goals. On top of that, she has a great eye for style and even helped me organize and refresh my closet. Her services are not only top-notch but also truly affordable. If you’re looking for someone creative, skilled, and easy to work with, Marina is the one!

Marina is the absolute best! I purchased a dress for my wedding reception that was decent, but I really wanted to elevate it. I was recommended to Marina to help customize my dress. When I had my first meeting with Marina, she was so helpful recommending designs that would look great on the dress. Marina created a few sketches that were all so beautiful. After selecting my favorite design, Marina did a fantastic job giving me updates on the progress of the dress. She also educated me along the way about all the things she was doing/adding to enhance the shape of the dress. It took a few weeks to complete, and I was so happy with everything. It fit and looked so much better than when I purchased the dress… I could not believe it. I really appreciate her honesty throughout the entire process because she truly made the perfect dress for me! Marina is so talented and amazing to work with.
