"Maybe it's vintage, maybe it has sentimental value, maybe it belonged to a loved one. It's a nice way to be able to reincorporate those items back into your wardrobe," said Gertz.

With the recently opened physical space, Gertz holds workshops for sewing connoisseurs looking for a community space.

"Having a space here kind of means I can bring community members into this space to learn a new skill," she said. "It's nice to bring some life into the studio...I think a lot of people who are interested in crafting and sewing kind of crave that community aspect," said Gertz.
