Meet the Makers:Elana

At Gaspard, every piece we create is a testament to the hands and hearts behind it. One of those hands belongs to Elana, who has been part of the Gaspard family for four years. For Elana, sewing isn’t just a job—it’s her passion. She chose Gaspard because it allows her to do what she loves while helping to dress the servants of God, which she sees as the perfect complement to her craft.

A typical day for Elana at Gaspard is always productive and full of opportunities to learn something new. She approaches each day with curiosity and an open mind, knowing that every project brings a fresh challenge. When it comes to favorite items, Elana can’t pick just one—she truly loves everything made at Gaspard.

What makes Elana stand out? She’s proud of her ability to take on any project that comes her way. Whether it’s a straightforward piece or a complicated custom order, Elana’s production manager, Ashley, often turns to her for the most intricate projects. Elana ensures every vestment and parament is crafted to the highest standards, making each one as if she were the customer herself.

Something that might surprise you about Elana’s work is the sheer amount of effort and attention to detail that goes into every item she makes. Her goal is always the same: to create something beautiful that lives up to Gaspard’s reputation for quality and care.

When she’s not at her sewing machine, Elana loves spending time with her daughters, cherishing those special family moments.

Elana’s hope for the future? “I hope Gaspard continues to grow so that all of us here can continue to grow, too.” We couldn’t agree more.
