I started sewing after my father passed away and I was left with his clothes - rather than throw them out or keep them in a box, I wanted to transform them. Although I didn't have much experience sewing, I started turning his clothes into stuffed animals. When friends saw them, they asked for their own memory animals, and I found that I loved expressing myself with fabric.

After taking a few years off for working on my most creative project ever - my daughter - I came back to the sewing machine and branched out into bags, clothing for both kids and adults. Maybe the biggest addition to my toolbox has been machine embroidery; being able to build an entire bag from scratch and embellish it is a thrill!
