Located in the Rheem Valley Shopping Center at 370 Park Street, Suite B, owner Odontuya Tserenjav and her sister Odma include tailoring, custom sewing projects, personalization, and vinyl decal/stencil cutting on their list of skills.
The sisters became adept with a needle and thread as teenagers learning how to sew from their mother and grandmother. Odontuya eventually became a fashion designer in Mongolia. Both women were seamstresses in Oakland when they decided to look for a place to open their own business. They fell in love with Moraga. "We wanted to move here, because the schools are good," explained Odma, "and the hills are so green."
The Creative Seamstress is Odontuya's first foray at being a business owner, and the first time she and Odma have worked together. Besides repairs and alterations for men and women they can work on children's clothes. "We also make original clothes," stated Odma. "If you bring in a design we can work from that. We also make cushion covers and curtains."
Shop hours are Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. They are closed on Sundays. For additional information call (925) 871-8082 or email TheCreativeSeamstress@yahoo.com. |
