Thank you for visiting my shop!
The idea for my shop started in my daughter's after-school sewing class. She fell in love with fabric arts, and she convinced me to re-learn how to use the sewing machine after a 20 year hiatus!
We started out in 2020 making masks for family and friends, and donating them to neighbors in need and non-profit organizations throughout Washington State. News spread, and our skills blossomed from there. Initially my daughter helped me make each and every mask, but now works on her own sewing projects instead. She's still my creative/kid fabric consultant and assistant marketing manager. After almost 2 years, and over 12,000 masks made, I switched gears to start making colorful bags and other useful sewn accessories!
Each item you see is handmade by me in my Seattle, WA home. I source and purchase fabric in small quantities, and much of it is out-of-print (and sometimes one-of-a-kind) so there will be a wide variety of patterns for everyone in my shop! I reclaim smaller or “offcuts” of fabric that may not be usable in other circumstances. I also try, as much a possible, to purchase materials from small businesses and independent designers! I like to use more eco-conscious fabrics such as cork and waxed canvas.
Reuse and recycling is very important to me personally, so I have found ways to recycle or reuse about 90% of the waste this business generates.
If you have any questions, would like something in a different fabric or would like a custom, bulk or wholesale order, please send me a message!
Thanks for taking a look!
