I enjoy creating useful items that are simple in design, allowing great fabric designs to be the star.

I learned to sew as a pre-teen from my mom - an amazing builder/crafter/potter/seamstress/any other skill you can think of - on her mother's vintage Singer Slant-O-Matic machine. That same machine is now what I use daily!

Over the years I've always had a fabric stash that I've moved from place to place. I've pulled the machine out for occasional projects, but in 2013, I decided to start trying my hand at making items to sell. I have a deep fondness for geekdom, and I love the way that custom fabric printing shops like Spoonflower can open up a wide world of possibilities on this front. I'm a practical person with a weakness for fun fabric, so my items reflect that - handmade, useful stuff!

All my items are handmade by me (on electricity machines, I'm not THAT old-school!) in my home. When I'm not sewing, I'm busy herding squirrels - er, I mean, parenting 2 growing kids - and teaching Yoga. I wear a lot of hats! Oooh, maybe I should make some hats...
