Wife.Mother.Sister.Daughter.Friend.

Sewist.Artist.Designer.Learner of many things.

My name is Jen. This is a one woman show. I am self-taught, am always striving to improve my methods, and love learning to create new things.

I'm quirky. I like what I like and I hope you will too.

I tend to measure with my right hand, not a ruler. I have a finger-thumb span that I count on and use daily, many times a day. Odd, I know, but it works for me!

I create my own designs and almost never use a pattern. If I do ever use one, I'll be sure to let you know in the Item Description.

It's hard to reproduce things I've made absolutely for this reason and because I hand-measure. This makes my items unique, I think.

I hope you'll enjoy what you find in this shop.

I love to chat, so feel free to convo me if you have any questions or would like something specific to your tastes.
