The Beginning
I've been sewing most all my life. I started making baby gifts a few years back when my friends started having babies. I have sold a number of things on eBay and to friends for shower gifts. Everyone kept telling me to start an Etsy shop, so I did!
When my oldest was born in 2011 I didn't have a lot of time to sew because I was working and taking care of him. I also got pregnant with twins before he turned one and was exhausted all the time. Even though I was exhausted, I opened the Etsy shop and started sewing again. I cloth diapered, so I made mostly fleece diaper covers. Just as I was really getting going I ended up in the hospital for 3 weeks before my babies were born. I had some very understanding customers who waited through my hospitalization and the birth of the twins. I did get everything done, but had to take a break for a while when my husband was diagnosed with cancer. Cancer plus 3 little ones under 2 was too much for me.
My kids are a little older now and I'm officially a stay-at-home-mom, so I have started sewing again. I still make baby items, but I have added stuff for older kids, too. I make my kiddos clothes (they love mommy made stuff!) and accessories all the time. It is fun for me and the kids love it!
