Our Legacy
Generations of Perfect Fit
For four generations, the art of the perfect fit has been our family’s enduring legacy.
Our heritage began in Holland, where Cornelia learned the fine arts of needlework and tailoring from her aunt, refining her skills at a traditional Dutch finishing school. Upon immigrating to North America, Cornelia brought that rich tradition of European craftsmanship with her, passing her devotion down to her daughter, Jeannette.
At just eight years old, Jeannette learned to sew on a vintage Singer treadle machine, first crafting miniature wardrobe pieces for her dolls, then creating her own clothing, and eventually pursuing years of formal training. What began as a childhood passion soon evolved into a lifelong mastery of tailoring and alterations.
In 1987, Jeannette began sewing professionally, cultivating a reputation on Cape Cod for unrivaled precision and an intuitive understanding of fabric and form. Today, alongside her daughter Tiana, a fourth-generation seamstress, that decades-long expertise has culminated in AND SEW ON.
Together, this mother-daughter duo has become the trusted choice for Cape Cod & Islands families and premier local boutiques.
