Ever since she was eight years old and was gifted her first sewing machine, Fatima has loved making her own clothes. That obsession and being raised in a family full of entrepreneurs paved the way for her to open her first shop in 1986 when she was in her 20s. Her first boutique was only 1,200 square feet, which after three years of a booming business was just not big enough. So she moved down the street to an 8,000-square-foot old house, which took about six months to convert into a three-level store. Fatima, always striving to push herself and her business forward, soon outgrew her second location, and in 2013 moved down the road and into the current Alexandra's Boutique at 372 S. Main Street.
