STEMStitchery

Hi! I’m Angie and have loved science and being crafty as long as I can remember. I decorated cakes in high school and college, but quit crafting after I graduated and got my first real grown up job as a pediatric occupational therapist. Looking back now, it’s probably because that career offered me so much creative space to play, problem solve, and truly make a difference to the families I was working with.

Fast forward a few years and I entered the baby crafting phase. -Y’all! I can create some cute kids! - I left the “real job” behind to stay home with my oldest, and I haven’t gone back. I starting sewing clothes for her, and she loves them so much I can’t stop. I was enjoying creating for her, but I still felt like I could contribute more to our family.

Finally after many prayers, and way more research than I should admit too, STEM Stitchery was born. The number one objective is to provide science, technology, engineering, and math inspired clothing for girls that is fun to wear. Who doesn’t love a good twirl & pockets?

Our hypothesis at STEM Stitchery is: If girls wear STEM inspired clothing, intellectual conversations will follow. The research shows astonishing differences in how young boys & girls are addressed by strangers. Boys often receive questions about their interests, and girls are told how cute or pretty they look. We are looking to change this pattern, and my little STEM lover and I will lead the way.
