Connected as Seema Sudan (221 friends)
I've been a knitter since I was 9. I was lucky to find what I love to do at such a young age. I moved on to a knitting machine at 12 then to Parsons and studied fashion design, and became a knitwear designer. For over 20 years, I've designed for many well known fashion companies, perfecting my skills...always a mix of the entrepreneur & artist...I'm still knit obsessed.
Congratulations! It's great to see a NOLA girl realize her dreams.
Congratulations and best of luck!

Yes, New Orleans is such a wonderful place for artist entrepreneurs. Please come! I can't wait to be able to teach and train other designers & knitters and help with their production. It's very difficult for Designers without tools. The more tools, the more we can all do... I can't believe the response so far!
I love New Orleans! I love sweaters! And as someone who dreams of becoming a full time resident of New Orleans I love any venture that makes that possible for others. Bravo!
Tim, thank you! New Orleans has inspired me so much. I can't believe how far we've come in just 2 days. I am so excited to prove that we can make beautiful knits locally!
Danielle, thank you. This is so exciting. It means a lot to see how much local slow manufacturing means to everyone!
I've seen your sweaters before, and I had no idea they were locally-derived! Beautiful work! I sincerely hope that you can achieve your goal and then some.
Seema in an inspirational New Orleans entrepreneur!
Excited to see your dream become a reality!
