Our Story


Lynne Gallagher, Owner

While honing skills in costume design for numerous theatrical productions and touring rock bands including the Rolling Stones, Black Crowes, KISS, Goo Goo Dolls, Mr. Big, Billy Dean, Robert Plant, Buddy GuyJim Kerr, Coldplay, Shakira, Metallica, and Ringo Starr, Chris Martin/ Coldplay Super Bowl 2016Janelle Monáe, Little Steven and the decibels of soul, I dreamed of creating a children's clothing business that would be anything but ordinary. The move to San Francisco in 1991 enabled me to pursue this dream which became Wee Scotty. The design flair developed from a rock background for the dramatic translated into bold fabrics, colors and textures that eventually would become the Wee Scotty trademark. My passion for design and sewing lead to the embarking of knowledge to youths of San Francisco and Mill Valley and now Flagstaff, Az. Wee Scotty opened its doors in 1999 in the founding location of Banana Republic in Mill Valley Ca. We have moved throughout the years and i have taught classes in Mill Valley, Pacific Heights, Richmond/Sunset districts and now servicing Flagstaff, AZ.

My successful San Francisco based apparel production and product development includes many name brand clients - Joe Boxer, Esprit, DKNY Kids, Betsey Johnson, Gymboree/Zutopia, Levi's, Vogue Patterns, Sandra Betzina/Power Sewing,

and the cool t-shirt company, San Franpsycho.

I have been successfully teaching children how to sew in San Francisco and now Flagstaff for the past thirty years. Many of my students have become so advanced that they are able to compete with and share their skills with adults in professional settings such as Marc Jacobs, Ambercrombie & Fitch, Nike & Wicked/Broadway. Students have continued interest and gone to NYU, Pratt, RISD, Academy of Art and Parsons, Antwerp/Belgium School of design. At Wee Scotty I believe the art of sewing is best when shared with others. Keep on sewing, my creative friends.
