********************************************************************************************** Here's My Story:
I am a Custom Designer, with 30 years professional experience. My background covers many areas of the sewing business, including Bridal, Pattern-Making, Theater, and the Advertising Balloon Business.
I began sewing , knitting and hand embroidery at the age of six years old. It wasn't until I was 20 that I realized this could make money. People loved the things I made. They even wanted to pay me for it! Wow! As a young mother, expecting my daughter, I began taking in sewing from a local alterations shop. This was my first real sewing job. Since then, my journey has taken me to New Orleans, to make costumes for the 1984 World's Fair, The costume shop at Sea World-San Diego, and even the San Francisco Opera Costume Shop; in 1994. All the while, I kept a lively business in Bridal. Living in San Francisco from 1991 to 2003, I made custom Bridal Gowns for local designers.
Moving back to Southern California, my brother, Dean, brought me into the Advertising Balloon Business.
I now live in Phoenix, Arizona, where I have extended family. In my home studio, I still make advertising balloons for corporate clients, and small business owners. I work at home full time now, designing items and collecting patterns for this store.
My experience is vast, as is my knowledge in this work. It is my life's passion to create hand-made things, whether for myself, a client, or even just to Bless Someone!
Please feel free to write . I am available as a sewing mentor. I am able and willing to assist my customers in any way possible, with their projects, and working with the items purchased.
All materials are to the best of my knowledge smoke free, and we have no pets.
Thank You for stopping by,
Karen
