All Things for Home and Family
When I was seven years old I received a child's Singer sewing machine. I designed and sewed my doll's dresses. (Basically they were cloth tubes cinched at the waist with a piece of ribbon). But I was hooked on sewing!
By the time I was sixteen I was making my own clothes. People began hiring me to sew for their families.
After I married, I sewed most of my family's clothes to help save money. I wish my machine had an odometer on it to record how many miles of cloth has been fed through it.
Now that I'm an "empty nester", I'm turning my attention to selling hand crafted items on etsy.com. I specialize in quality sewn items from wearables to home decor.
My daughter has also contributed to this shop with her handmade jewelry and counted cross stitch. She has been cross stitching for about 15 years. She started working on small projects such as bookmarks and worked her way up to large projects about 11x14 inches. She has also won many ribbons at county fairs for her work.
I love to use the latest patterns, fabrics, and ideas, so check back often to see what's new.
Everything is made in a smoke-free and pet-free environment.
Make sure to visit my vintage shop at MyForgottenTreasures.
