Something Sew Unique

Lisa LaChance - Owner, Designer, Seamstress

Lisa LaChance started Something Sew Unique nearly 20 years ago in Horseshoe Bay, Texas. While there she had the opportunity to create unique window treatments and bedding in every style, texture and fabric imaginable – from rustic country to shabby chic to sleek contemporary style. 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. In her spare time she enjoys gardening, spending time with her grandchildren, and caving in her backyard.

What Others Are Saying

Salazar Custom Interiors

As an interior decorator, I use a great deal of custom soft goods in my custom projects. From bedding to windows, I have used Lisa time and time again with excellent results. It gives me comfort to know I can be absolutely confident when I work with Lisa no matter what the task. Her work is flawless, well priced and as a bonus, her turnaround time is fantastic. She is a diamond!

Dannette Wigen -Two Rivers, Wisconsin

We searched in stores and on the internet for the perfect dress for my daughter to wear in her Aunt’s wedding and we finally found it in the form of a pattern. So with the pattern, some material, and measurements over the phone, Lisa performed the miracle we were looking for over 2000 miles away. The dress fits her perfect, and the quality of Lisa’s work is outstanding! Thank you Lisa for making my 9 year old daughters dream of being a real princess come true!

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.

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!

Sylvia Jennette – Austin, Texas

My curtains are beautiful! They fit perfectly. Your sewing is very expert. Thank you very much.

Tiffany Young – New Braunfels, Texas

We were told about Lisa and Something Sew Unique on our neighborhood blog. Several people recommended her. We made an appointment with her to come do measurements in three rooms. She made sure that we were fully aware of what our odd sized windows would look like with coverings and the different options and worked within our budget. She came to install them several weeks later. We are so happy with them. They are exactly what we asked for. Great person/company to work with. We definitely recommend her and will use her again.

Andrea Garza – Riverchase, New Braunfels

Lisa, the owner of Something Sew Unique, put a huge smile on my face when my custom cornices and panels arrived. The work was amazing and it all looks so much better than I even thought it would thanks to her help with picking out the perfect fabrics to match my home. Thanks, Lisa.

Tim Gruber – Bernville, Pennsylvania

I wanted to let you know I received the pillow sham I ordered. I also wanted to say that it’s perfect. Thank you very much. It is great and I know she will love it so much. I will definitely consider you for any future sewing projects. Thanks again, it’s absolutely wonderful! It really is!

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.

Ann Louise Hagerty – Seguin, Texas

I just wanted to tell you how pleased I am with my drapes and cushion. I really appreciate the intelligence, artistry, and skill you used to make everything work. The drapes are so nice that I think I need new furniture now! Thank you for a lovely job.

Patricia Helm/Jackie Rowlings – Corpus Christi, Texas

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!
