Linda Miller Costa (Sr. Partner-Store Manager) Spoiled by a childhood of custom-sewn clothes made by her mother, Linda first learned how to sew as a child. Through her teen years, sewing was a way to obtain the faddish, “hip” clothes that her frugal mother refused to buy for her. While her childhood dream of being a designer for the movies like the great Edith Head never materialized, she continued to research historical costuming and follow fashion’s evolution, occasionally sewing for science fiction conventions and other special occasions. After a long detour as a librarian (who amassed an amazing collection of books and patterns on the history of fashion), she has finally realized a career in fashion by bringing Syracuse a new retail fabric store.

Cheryl Costa (Partner-Creative Director) Cheryl’s sewing background is deeply rooted in her 30 plus years in community and semi-pro theater. As a back stage technical person she frequently supported the costumers with their production sewing deadlines. During her high tech naval career, while on remote assignment, she had the collateral duty of being the unit’s official tailor, sewing and repairing everything from sailor’s uniforms, to foul weather gear and signal flags. At the store, she is known for her enthusiastic high energy and greetings. Behind the scenes she manages the business’s mailing list and plans advertising and promotion.

Her historical clothing has been seen running around The Renaissance Fair (in Sterling, NY) for the past 30 years. Delighting both the participants and the patrons wearing them. The clothing for a few weddings she has designed for has not been what one would call run of the mill. So, come with your questions, ideas, or vague notions and see what Amber can create for you.
