About Us

California Custom Creations is a small business started in 2009 and located in San Diego's North County city of Encinitas.

We are following our passion for sewing and creating beautiful, eco-friendly, and unique handmade items.

Our goal is to serve the community of clients who value the fact that our items are not produced in assembly line fashion or farmed out to other entities as a cost cutting measure.

Lisa's story: "As a girl of 5, I received hand made dolls from my Mom and Gramma as gifts. I loved these dolls so much, I became inspired to create clothes for them. By watching my Mom and Gramma sew, I began making the clothes, thus beginning a lifetime hobby-turned-carreer.

After graduating from college with a Graphic Design Degree, I followed that career until 7 years ago when I decided to pursue my lifelong passion and began to sew full time as a career. I have had a successful custom drapery, bedding, pillow and cushion business working on referrals and loving it!! One year ago, I discovered my darling neighbor, Jan, also had a passion for sewing, and we formed California Custom Creations." .. Send an e-mail to Lisa at Lisa@california-custom-creations.com.

Jan's story: "It's always been more important to me to be able to afford a horse than to have the latest fashion. While in high school and into college, I made all my own clothes in order to save money. After college, I was fortunate enough to land a job at the Navy Personnel Research and Development Center here in San Diego, which proved to be a stepping stone to the Office of Naval Research, and later, the Naval Health Research Center. I retired as a career civil servant in 2005. I have since started my own consuting firm, Dickieson Projects, Inc. Working with Lisa as part of California Custom Creations is great fun and allows my creative side to come out." .. Send an e-mail to Jan at Jan@california-custom-creations.com.

The two of us enjoy working outside the mainstream corporate world.

We look forward to serving you and creating gifts made to your specifications.
