Rachel Bristow has been married to her husband, Victor, for 16 years, and together they share a large and close-knit family of 11 children and 13 grandchildren.

She has owned her business, Creative Cousins Sewing for 12 years, transitioning to full-time drapery work over the past two years. Sewing is deeply rooted in her background—she comes from a long line of skilled seamstresses. Her mother, a gifted bridal specialist, had an exceptional talent for altering any type of garment.

After becoming a widow, she learned tailoring from her mother as a way to support her six children. That experience marked the beginning of her professional journey, laying the foundation for the work she continues today.
