From Home Ec. to High Fashion:
Mary Burrell's Journey
Fashion ignited a spark in Mary Burrell during junior high, leading her from home economics to acclaimed tailoring. While working at the New Orleans Sheriff's Office, Mary's impeccable tailoring skills blossomed through word-of-mouth along with her catchphrase “Let’s sew it up!” Soon, her clientele surpassed even high-fashion designers.
Now, Mary's vision takes a new stitch. "U Reap What I Sew" reflects the mutual success she shares with her prestigious clients – community leaders, entertainers, festival Krewes, brides – to Bishops, and more. This visionary leader transforms fabric into confidence, a true testament to her talent and experience.
