About

I'm Macy Warr and I absolutely love what I do, and have been designing and sewing for over 40 years! My business is a passion and I also enjoy teaching others to sew. I also enjoy helping other designers by sketching their ideas and helping them with pattern making and sample pieces for development. I'm in southern MD, in LaPlata, about 45 minutes from DC and Alexandria, VA.

Ms. Macy was a pleasure to work with. I am very pleased with her craftsmanship on multiple garment alterations. She is very responsive and answered all of my questions. Looking forward to collaborating again.

Macy was great. I brought fabric back from Africa, and she made two skirts for me in less than a week's time. She has a great eye for detail and went above-and-beyond by adding pockets to one of the skirts. She truly has gifted hands!

I needed a bridesmaid dress hemmed on short notice, less than 5 days. I reached out and Visual Pathways responded immediatley. Dropped my dress off on a Saturday and picked up the very next day. She even noticed and corrected a strap that needed to be tightened. Very reasonably priced! So happy I found Visual Pathways!

I loved working with Macy! She did a beautiful job on my alterations, which included several pieces. I lost a lot of weight and had some favorite pieces that I did not want to donate or give away. I am so excited that I get to wear them now, just like they were tailor made for me. Macy did an excellent, and I am so happy she was able to do my alterations!
