More about Lelia
Lelia, a native of Appomattox, VA, moved into the Staunton area in 1977 to join Leggett in their Assistant Divisional Management program. Years later in 1998 while working at Mary Baldwin College Lelia was approached by Lynn Moses (Ellis) to take over “Just You” Custom Sewing and Alteration business because she was relocating to another state. Having learned to sew from her mother, and receiving her B.S. from Longwood College in Textiles and Clothing, Lelia had experience in sewing but did not have any experience in operating a business.
After much prayer and consulting mentors, Lelia accepted the challenge. She is now venturing out and being more creative in her gift, creating a variety of embroidered shawls including ‘the Names of God’ line and other inspirational accessories. “I realize that my sewing ability is a gift from God and He has anointed me to do what I do” -Lelia Nelson, Owner
