We were very sad to hear today that “Rosie the Riveter,” Lila Tomek, has passed at 101 — a quiet giant of the Greatest Generation, a woman whose courage echoed far beyond the factory walls and roaring production lines of the Glenn L. Martin Bomber Plant near Omaha.

During COVID, as I made thousands of face masks to help however I could, Rosie the Riveter became a real inspiration to me because of what she symbolized — resilience, determination, and everyday people stepping up in moments of national need. I was so inspired at the time that I even created my own photo homage to her while sewing masks.

The woman whose 1942 photograph is widely credited as inspiration for the iconic “We Can Do It!” poster was Naomi Parker Fraley. While the poster became a symbol for all women, Naomi’s photo — taken while she was working at a lathe at the Naval Air Station in Alameda, California — featured the signature polka-dot bandana and work jumpsuit that artist J. Howard Miller likely used as a reference.

Rosie’s legacy — and the spirit she represents — continues to remind us that ordinary people can do extraordinary things when it matters most.

Starting out the new year with reintroducing myself to all the new 2026 + 2027 brides 👋

Hi, I’m Heather Clasen, a master seamstress with a passion for helping people look and feel their best. I specialize in bridal and special occasion wear, and my journey into sewing started back in middle school when I discovered my natural talent for it.

It all began when I entered a local doll dress competition and won for my age group, which sparked my love for creating with fabric. From there, I made a dress for my grandparents’ anniversary, and my aunt loved it so much she asked me to make 5 bridesmaid dresses for her wedding. That was my first taste of sewing for a real event—and I was hooked.

Throughout college, I continued to sew for friends, creating custom jacket appliqués and fixing broken buttons. After teaching for a few years, I found myself working in a bridal shop, where I learned the art of bridal alterations. The owner of the shop eventually offered me the chance to buy the business, and I ran my own bridal shop for several years. That’s when I truly fell in love with bridal sewing—each dress was unique, and the creativity and challenges of working with different fabrics and techniques kept me engaged.

After selling the shop, I became a stay-at-home mom and caregiver for my grandmother-the same grandmother whose anniversary sparked the making of my first dress-but I continued sewing on the side. Encouraged by my husband, I launched The Threaded Needle in 2017, bringing my expertise and passion for sewing to custom projects and alterations.

I believe every stitch tells a story, and I love working with my clients to bring their visions to life, whether it’s for a wedding, a special occasion, or something entirely unique. Let’s create something beautiful together! ✂️💍
