THE WILBOURN SISTERS

Facts in Fashion


Our mother, fondly known as "Queen Mother Elizabeth", was a Power House, who taught all seven of her daughters (Janice, Carolyn, Johnetta, Ruth, Susie, Martha and Mary) to sew, design and work at a very young age.  Mother was born and raised in Hardeman County, Bolivar, Tennessee.  As a single parent, our mother was a entrepreneur who was also very wise, started over 50 years ago sewing for the public in Bemis (a fomer comany town in Madison County, Tennesse), which is now Jackson, Tennessee.  Our sister Susie, owned and operated the family owned Interior Design and Custom Upholstry Business, four of our sisters Mary, Martha, Johnetta and Ruth,  worked there with our mother until she was became 75 years old.  

  Our mother always loved sewing as a profession and found that her sewing skills made people happy.  She was the only sibling in her family that took up the trade of sewing, learning from her mother (our grandmother), Susie Chism. Our mother "Queen Mother Elizabeth" instilled in us (her children) good work ethics, morals, esteem, independence and a whole lot of FAITH. 

The Overall "Mission" for Wilbourn Sisters Design, Inc. is to continue our Mother's Legacy by passing on the Trade of Sewing and Designing to the next Generation.  Encouraging and mentoring them in being creative and finding that passion, that gift and talent that God has given to each and every one of us.
