Bio
My name is Tameka Matae. I am a Pittsburgh native, avid seamstress, and amateur everything else! I am a former Clarissa School of Fashion Design student, and I have been sewing for a little over 26 years. I specialize in the use of ethnic textiles for sewing and quilting, and happily my designs have been featured in The Boston Bay-State Banner, The New Pittsburgh Courier, The Pittsburgh Press and on TheRoot.com.
In addition to ethnic-inspired clothing, I also have a love for all things vintage. I’ve always admired my grandmothers in their hats and gloves every Sunday morning and adored the look of Hollywood starlets in old black and white movies. Over the years I have been collecting vintage sewing patterns, which in turn led to my ever-growing wardrobe of vintage reproduction clothing.
