Stitch Above The Rest, LLC

About Us

As a full service window treatment fabrication and design studio, we will assist you in fulfilling your vision with the finishing touches. We listen to your wants and needs, offer professional advice, provide the quality & value you are looking for, and leave you breathless with the final result. We service both the retail client and those in the trade. There are three things that make custom work look custom; 1) the fabrication process, 2) the fabrics used, and 3) the installation. If any one of these is not up to par, it will downgrade the look of the other two dramatically, no matter how well they are done. Don’t let this happen to you. If you are going to spend the money on two of the three, we recommend you don’t skimp on the third. Ensure that the money you are spending goes farther, by actually getting the full custom experience. Making a mistake in any of these three categories could cost you a lot more later on. Let us work within your budget to fulfill all of these requirements and give you the finished look you have been wanting.

izabeth was absolutely fantastic to work with. She provided curtains and a cornice in 4 rooms of my home and they came out better than I had imagined. The process from start to finish was easy and enjoyable and Elizabeth helped me pick out the fabric in person or by sharing pictures of the fabric in this COVID world! She was always quick to respond and kept me posted on the progress of my curtains. Installation was fast and seamless! I can’t recommend Elizabeth enough!

Thank you Marggee! It was so fun working on your projects. I just love how it all turned out and am so happy you love it all too. It's been a pleasure working with you and figuring out how to do all this during COVID. Thanks again.

Elizabeth Gerdes, CPC, owner of Stitch Above the Rest, LLC, did an amazing job on slipcovers for my antique chairs. The work was custom, very detailed, including a monogram, and gorgeously executed. I searched over a year to find a master sewing house that could handle this job as it was very complicated. Elizabeth not only met the challenge, but delivered a product that is beautiful and elegant … I couldn’t be happier! She is a consummate professional and great to work with! Laurie, NYC *_*

I highly recommend Elizabeth from Stitch Above The Rest! I am in love with my new drapes! Not only does she do outstanding, professional, high quality work but she is so personable and really takes the time to listen to what you want. She offers great advice and her taste is excellent. Elizabeth and her staff are very caring, kind, and professional. I can’t wait for my next project!

What a wonderful experience. I first used Elizabeth to make window seat cushions in a bathroom that I had newly remodeled. She met me at my home on time and listened to my needs and gave me great suggestions. Love my new cushions. In addition, I had all of the windows replaced in my home. My bathroom windows had leaked so badly that new blinds were needed. I ordered new blinds through Elizabeth and she scheduled her installers to put them in. Her installers were punctual and did a beautiful job. I even decided to have them re-hang shutters that I was unable to re-install. Such a wonderful experience.

Stitch Above the Rest was a pleasure to work with! We are very happy with the custom crib rails, nursery decor, and window treatment hardware that was installed!

We recently returned with a beautiful piece of cloth gifted to us while on a trip to India. I looked for someone to convert it into a bedspread and came across Stitch Above the Rest. What a wonderful experience! We absolutely love the coverlet Elizabeth finished for us—-she’s a very gifted person. My daughters are already arguing about who gets it in the will!

When I talked to Elizabeth over the phone - I knew she would completely understand what I was looking for. She came round to measure and talk to me about my windows. I had some fabric I had purchased on a recent trip to Kenya - so it was a bit unusual. She is patient and very creative, as well as giving great advice. The final product is fabulous! I absolutely love it - and it's exactly what Elizabeth promised. I would not hesitate to ask for her help again, and would definitely recommend her services and skills.

Stitch Above the Rest is that and more. Elizabeth Gerdes is a delight to work with, patient and the consummate professional - a true artist with fabrics. If you can imagine it, she can create it...and it will be ah-mazing. Over the last year, she transformed nearly every room with a range of custom drapery styles and fabrics, as well as valences and adorable custom bedding. I threw a fairly wide range at her, from traditional Waverly to UK/European Sanderson and Zoffany. Our average home now has a warm and unique special appeal. Every piece she's tailored for our home enhances that space so beautifully that I still walk into a room and just beam. Elizabeth is as knowledgeable about fabrics and constructing a certain aesthetic as she is fun to work with. We now are moving on to upholstery... :)

Recently my mother in law gave me two Mr. & Mrs. chairs. My first call was to Elizabeth, owner of Stitch Above The Rest. All of my window treatments were done by her, and I knew I wanted her to recover these chairs for me. She did a beautiful job. The quality of her work is impeccable! My chairs look brand new, when in reality they are over 50 years old.

Elizabeth was professional and friendly and in the first few minutes I knew I had the right person for the job. She made 3 long bench seat cushions, some pillows and finished some curtains for me. They finished amazingly. They are so beautifully done and the price was right. If you need someone to do any stitching for you, you must call a Stitch Above the Rest!
