About My Shop

The Darling Sew Shop is a one-woman sewing studio in downtown Lexington, Kentucky, specializing in bridal and special occasion sewing. Calling the North Limestone area its home for the past 7 years, the doors are open for anyone who wants to feel fabulous in their wedding gown, no matter who you are. The best complements come from clients that tell me this was the easiest part of planning their wedding. When you walk through my door I want you to feel beautiful, confident and relaxed. Weddings can be stressful, your wedding gown experience should be fun.


About me

Hi there! I'm Jennifer, the owner of The Darling Sew Shop. My grandmother bought my first sewing machine for me when I was a young girl and truly encouraged my interest in sewing. That sewing machine (pictured behind me on the shelf) went through a lot of trial and error as I slowly learned the in's and out's of how it worked and doesn't quite function properly anymore but my love for sewing lives on. I graduated from Eastern Kentucky University in 2010 with a degree in Apparel Design and Merchandising and started my seamstress career making baby clothes for a small boutique in downtown Lexington, KY. I quickly moved into the world of bridal and special occasion dresses working for a large bridal store and fell in love with the intricate and delicate work. Since then I've had the honor of making a few lucky ladies their dream wedding gowns, a handful of special occasion dresses, and a lot of alterations in between. Alongside sewing, I'm pretty good at baking pies, giving all of the love to my cats, and drinking very strong coffee.
