Valentines, Beautiful Handiwork Greet Effie Rule Circle
The Effie Rule Church Circle celebrated Valentine’s Day this week, enjoying Celeste Whaley’s famous Valentine cake and the beautiful handiwork of Sonam, custom seamstress and jewelry maker. Sonam’s jewelry pieces are for sale in the Mission Market, along with her handmade bags full of chocolates that many have snapped up for Valentine’s gifts. Now customers can hire her to make custom clothing, which features hand beading, and her clothing alterations.
Pictured here are samples of her dresses that she displayed at the church circle meeting. Sonam and her family are recent immigrants from Afghanistan, where she had a dressmaking business. You can email her for information at Sonamnahil9@gmail.com, or call (865) 549-8816
