iheartnorwegianwood's Profile

Bio

My name is Angie Johnson, I've been sewing for as long as I can remember. I learned my mad sewing skills from a combination of my mom and a university degree. I seem to have also acquired some shocking pack rat skills from my grandma. It comes in useful for hoarding away vintage fabrics and supplies. Prior to starting Norwegian Wood I worked in the mainstream fashion industry for 8 years, but have now escaped and work on Norwegian Wood full time.

I make the goodies you'll find here using vintage and new fabrics, various trims and other bits that I dig up in strange little stores throughout the mysterious city of Montreal.

So here I am on Etsy, making the things that I really love to make, all under the name Norwegian Wood (I'm part Norwegian, and I really like that song...) Check out my Etsy "Dress Up" video! http://www.etsy.com/storque/handmade-life/etsy-dress-up-with-i-heart-norwegian-wood-5129/
