Lisa LaChance - Owner, Designer, Seamstress

She is a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin. As a professional member of Window Coverings Association of America (WCAA), she is active in the promotion of window treatment design and fabrication as a business. In 2007 she completed certification to become a Certified Workroom Professional and was also featured in the prestigious Window Covering Association of America (WCAA) 2007 Elegance Showcase. Her solid educational background and experience, coupled with her love for sewing and design, have given Lisa a unique view into the window of interior fashions.

What Others Are Saying

Heather Fork – Spicewood, Texas

The curtains are drop-dead gorgeous! I knew you would do a fantastic job, and they are just so exquisite! I love the weight of the finished product. My guests will enjoy a luxuriously appointed room, and also have the comfort of privacy and insulation from the elements. Thanks again for your expert care and attention. I will certainly refer anyone who needs something sewn!

Lorraine Felton – Universal City, Texas

I knew from Lisa’s reviews and her awesome website that she could handle any level of complex project that might come her way. In person she is warm and gracious, helpful and genuinely interested in her customer’s vision. What I appreciate most about my recent experience is her care and concern for my little project (a pillow less that $100) – and that speaks to her professional integrity and love of her craft. Exceptional service, outstanding quality, and beautiful textiles for your home – a perfect combination!

Candy Springs – New Braunfels, Texas

I found Lisa while perusing Houzz. Because she was local to New Braunfels, that was just a plus for me. Over a six month period she helped me revamp 3 rooms in my house. She offered so much more than I was expecting! She has incredible fabrics, accessories, and ideas. She basically transformed and “finished” the look of my dining room and study. Then she helped me completely redesign my guest bedroom, including colors, window designs, and bedding. The configuration of my Windows and balcony patio door has been a delima since we moved in. Lisa created a window treatment that is so dramatic and beautiful that I peek in the room all the time just to smile!  Lisa will be helping me in the future with any design changes I want to make! I stand behind her work and her company.

Lisa, I love the duvet! It is even more beautiful than I imagined. The workmanship is incredible. It far surpasses anything that one could buy in a store. My favorite part of the duvet is the shirring. You did an incredible job. It looks better than the one on their website! You are exceedingly talented and I look forward to ordering more things for my bedroom. Thank you ever so much.

Some time ago, on behalf of my mother, I contacted Lisa for seven replacement pillow shams of various sizes. Her response was fast and courteous. Lisa’s estimate was professional, detailed and reasonably priced. We asked her to do the job and, well within her estimated time of completion, we received seven impeccably tailored pillow shams that fit like gloves on their respective pillow forms.

The key to why this job of seven simple pillow shams is so outstanding is that Lisa completed this job from almost 200 miles away, with nothing to go by but my amateur drawings and measurements accompanied by emails. The fabrics we had chosen are not easy ones to work with, nor are they forgiving, but Lisa’s seams, linings and hidden zippers were flawless. Over a year later, the shams are holding up beautifully.

If a cut above is what you’re looking for, this is your girl. THANK YOU, LISA!

Marissa Foss – Barton Creek, Austin, Texas and Woodland Hills, California

I have obtained the services of Something Sew Unique recently, and couldn’t be more pleased with the service and quality that I have received. I am interior decorator based in CA, and had to find a workroom to service my Austin client. I interviewed several workrooms and was the most impressed with Lisa at Something Sew Unique. I thought it was going to be very difficult to do business across the United States, but she made it easy. She does beautiful work and has kept great communication with me along the way. I look forward to her weekly emailed pictures of my designs coming to fruition. If anything is unclear, she is the first one to contact me to ask questions and clarification. I would highly recommend this company.

Mallory Hines – New Braunfels, Texas

Lisa expertly created nearly 22 foot curtains for my 2 story living room! She was a pleasure to work with – kind and prompt, and gave me very realistic expectations that she met. The finished project is gorgeous and I would absolutely recommend her work.

Mrs. Turner

Lisa at Something Sew Unique did a fantastic job on a new piano bench cushion, soon to match my brother’s new floors! Lisa not only directed me to fabulous fabrics, but helped me keep within my budget. I am so happy with the exceptional job on the cushion!

Suzanne Perry – New Braunfels, Texas

We needed some custom drapes for a huge floor to ceiling window. We made an appointment to meet with Lisa, at which time we picked out our fabric and explained exactly what we wanted. She was so helpful and very professional. She explained everything told us when we could expect them to be done and installed. It ended up that they were done earlier than expected, which was great. She came personally with her team to install them and they too were very nice and professional. They look beautiful and we highly recommend Lisa and Something Sew Unique for all your window treatment needs. Her quality of work is impeccable!

I just wanted to say thanks again for the gorgeous valances… I appreciate your talents.

The drapes are installed and they are drop dead gorgeous.

Deborah Thomas, San Antonio, Texas

Dear Lisa, When I asked you to make custom chair cushions and window treatments for me I paid you up front because I was that confident about the quality of your work and I was not wrong. I have received many compliments on the chair cushions and the beautiful window shade you designed and look forward to many other opportunities to use your services. You are a gifted person and more responsible than many businesses these days, it is a pleasure to work with you.
