The short version
I learned on my grandmother's machine, sitting on a phone book so I could reach the pedal. The first thing I finished was a skirt, and it was crooked, but I wore it anyway.
By high school I was hemming prom dresses for half my class. After that came years of sewing for my own family, then friends of friends started calling. The question was always the same: could you make me one too?
A few years ago I added an embroidery machine, and that changed everything. Suddenly a plain keychain could carry a name, a baby blanket could have a birthdate on the corner, and a plain tote could belong to someone in particular. That's the part I love most now: the small detail that makes an item clearly yours.
This is still a weekend thing. I'm not a factory and I don't want to be. What you get is one person, one machine and a pile of fabric picked out by hand.
Two machines, one very full fabric closet
The sewing machine handles construction: bags, linings, zippers, blanket edges. The embroidery machine handles the names, monograms and little designs.
I prewash everything, use quality interfacing so bags keep their shape, and finish inside seams so nothing frays after a few months of use.
- Cotton, canvas, flannel and minky
- Quality zippers and hardware
- Thread matched to your colors
- Every piece inspected before it ships
