About

 "It's Sew Easy TV" on PBS 

Laura's creativity combined with her skill of design and sewing sets Trash to Couture apart from any other blog.  Laura started sewing and designing her own clothing as a young girl.  She even made her Prom and High School Dance dresses.  Her sewing teacher created a class for her senior year so she could continue her advanced sewing curriculum. She'd finish the class projects so quickly she had to start bringing clothing from home to use for fabric.  After college Laura ran a successful handmade, sustainable clothing brand specializing in custom bridal designs.  After having 2 babies back to back she decided to take a break from running the company solo and focus on raising her boys and her athletic career in running.  Realizing sewing and designing were something she missed dearly, she started Trash to Couture.

Trash to Couture was created in 2010 to inspire a less wasteful approach to the mass-produced fashion mainstream through DIY sewing tutorials and repurposed fashions.  Laura not only is the designer for Trash to Couture, she designs and contributes sewing content for many top craft brands and companies including Brother Sewing, Dritz, Altered Couture, Fabric.com, Make it Coats, Burda Style, and OESD to name a few.
