Who runs this place?

My name is Shaerie, and I’m a corsetmaker / sewing instructor who moved here from Boston in 2004. My small business is called Lovely Creature Corsetry but I have also been a sewing instructor since 2005. I realized at the beginning of 2007 that although corsetmaking is my art, teaching is truly my work! I really love it, and have been getting very positive responses from all of my students. The fantastic Sewing Arts Center out in Santa Monica is where I have been honing my skills for the past few years. The commute from Hollywood was really getting to be a drag with the gas prices and all (and who wants to spend so much time in the car when they should be sewing...), so I started looking for a studio space closer to home. I found the wonderful Edna Hart storefront on Rowena Ave. in Silver Lake, and the rest was history. Not much of a history so far, but we’re working on it! The storefront houses Lovely Creature Corsetry along with the Sew LA workspace, conveniently located across the street from The Coffee Table (a laid-back coffee & food place), on the same block as Blair’s (a great little cafe) and around the corner from the Trader Joe’s on Hyperion Ave.
