Pittsburgh seamstress, Jen Rocket, operates from her sewing studio in Highland Park, east of Downtown Pittsburgh

Hello and welcome to my website!

As a 4th generation seamstress, I was behind a sewing machine by the age of 5. I began my formal education with The Art Institute of Pittsburgh and continued at Los Angeles Trade Tech for fashion technical design. I am always pushing myself to learn everything I can about sewing.

Here is a short list of the services that I offer:

  • Couture garment creation from design to completion
  • Custom wedding gowns and special event gowns
  • Garment re-creation based on an existing piece or a photograph
  • Costume design and construction using such materials as latex, foam, leather, fur etc.
  • Pattern-making and prototyping
  • Upcycling and/or restyling of existing garments
  • Alterations of existing garments
  • Drapery and upholstery
  • Fabrication (view my gallery to get a sense of my full skill set)

ATTENTION: I will be out of town June 14-24, 2013.

My studio is located at 5620 Callowhill St. (#2) Pittsburgh, PA 15206. Hours of operation: Monday & Wednesday-Saturday, 10am-8pm by appointment. On Tuesdays, I teach a fiber arts class through the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts.
