I’m Tessa Martinez and I have the best job in the
world – sewing wedding dresses :) I never actually studied it. I mean, I had to
finish sewing courses, just to get qualified for hiring, but my real school was
at home. Our family has been in the tailoring business for generations. My
granny, my mom, my aunts and sisters – we all have a way with needles. Long
ago, my ancestors came here from Spain in search of a better fate. I wasn’t
even born back then. Now we run a small tailor shop in Florida – pretty much
local, with just a bunch of customers, but we’re happy with what we have. And
although I really enjoyed working with my dear relatives, I felt it was time
for me to live my own dreams and try something I always wanted for myself. So I
moved to Tampa and found a job at a wedding atelier where I spend my day stitching
and lacing someone’s happiness :) I have a daughter called Emilia, a sweet
little angel sitting by my side and watching every move of my hand with curious
eyes. One day I hope to teach her everything I know and continue our family
tradition! So if you ever need a special dress for your special day, you know
where to look for us :)
