In a nutshell, I love to sew!
Welcome to Sewing at Ten!
Do what you love and you will never work a day in your life. One of my favorite quotes and so very true. I feel very fortunate to be able to do this every day.
So, where did the name come from? Do I sew at 10 a.m., 10 p.m.? Yes to both of those things, but I started sewing at the age of 10. I thought it was kind of "catchy" when I came up with it! My son just had a tattoo created and added to his chest as a Christmas gift to ME. Just what I wanted....
I am going to spare you the long drawn-out story of my sewing life and just say that I've sewn pretty much everything you can think of. I even started a wholesale children's line when my two kids were little. That was a lot of fun selling to the boutiques. As a result of my sewing business, my daughter turned into a child model so you can guess what happened then. Mom stopped sewing and started driving that kid all over Wisconsin for photo shoots! Speed ahead a gazillion years, passing different jobs, school, careers to 2015 when my husband thought I should try the sewing again. What a guy! I had been a transcriptionist for 10 years at our local hospital and had gotten the quilting bug from my boss, a beautiful quilter. The rest is history.
So, here I am, 56 years later, as I'm composing this, still sewing, still loving it, and don't intend to stop! I hope you take a look around my shop, and if something interests you, favorite the item or the shop and come back. I am always posting new things, just as fast as my little fingers can get them done!
Thank you for stopping by and I hope you find something you "just have to have."
