Elizabeth Stoops is a self-taught seamstress that decided some years back that not only do modern clothes fit badly, they flatter nearly no one. Armed with two sewing machines, a heap of old notions and one not-terribly-helpful cat assistant, she's set out to change the world-- wardrobe. She's dirt cheap and stingier than scrooge-- no one can undercut her rock-bottom solutions for typically more expensive sewing endeavors.
