About Correen
I have been a creative person for as long as I can remember. Dabbling in drawing, fine art, jewelry - you name it, I probably tried it. Sewing, however, just seemed to become my niche and I have been sewing since I was about 7 years old. Both of my grandmothers were incredibly talented seamstresses in their own right, so it was no surprise to my family that I inherited their talent. I love everything about sewing, from coordinating the fabrics and sketching out the design to transforming that fabric into something fabulous to make someone feel wonderful.
I started my company, Correen's Creative Designs, in 2002 as a way to supplement my dreary day job in Human Resources. In 2004, my husband and I decided building my business around our 3 sons was a better fit. In fact, it was a great fit, one that has allowed me to grow professionally and creatively and to honestly be able to say I absolutely love my job!
I am meticulous about the details, materials, and workmanship that go into creating my pieces. I believe quality, durability, and uniqueness are very important and I hope you find my costume and dress design to be all the above.
