Description:Clothing is one of the greatest means of self-expression. Brooke Burch is a custom sewing and alterations-based business located in Rochester, MN. This year I plan to create an alternative clothing boutique while expanding my existing business. I offer alteration services and I make all types of clothing and home goods.

This business is growing fast and it would be a great opportunity to see what it really takes to run a business on your own. My job is sewing intensive and fast paced.
