I discovered my passion for sewing at a very young age. I remember watching my grandma as she makes clothes for me on her Singer treadle machine and hoping that one day, I'd be gifted enough to do what she's doing.
When I graduated from my MBA from Seattle University, both of my kids were in elementary. Since I’m no longer changing diapers or burning the midnight oil learning Cost Accounting concepts, I decided to refocus and rekindle my interest on needlework. I learned how to sew clothes, home decor, and quilts. With the invention of the modern embroidery machine and digitizing software, I decided to take this one step further and learned both the art and science of the commercial embroidery business.
As I started designing and creating gifts for family and friends, I realized how much I truly enjoy doing these. There's just something about a handmade gift that makes it unique and more meaningful to the receiver. This is what inspires me in coming up and offering unique creations to my customers. I think it’s awesome that embroidery offers us the ability to personalize anything stitch-able while giving that professional look.
They say if you do what you love to do, you won't have to work a day. So here I am…
I decided to follow my heart and open my shop. You can find out more about my company on www.embroiderrific.com. Subscribe to "Embroiderrific" YouTube videos.
Once a quarter, I volunteer to teach sewing classes to middle schoolers in the Seattle, Washington area. I hope this craft continues to grow and gets passed to the future generations.
