I'm Happy When I'm Sewing
Here's all you really need to know about me... I am happy when I'm sewing. = ) It's my zen place, my escape and my joy. Fabrics feel like home and the sound of the machine is like music.
And sewing may be part of my genetic make-up -- my grandmas were both seamstresses and made their own patterns, and my mom sews too.
Going to the fabric store was one of my favorite things to do as a kid (and as an adult). I love all the colors, patterns and textures of the different fabrics. When I was 12, I saved my allowance for months to buy my own fancy sewing scissors. That same year I received my first sewing machine as a birthday gift from my mom (my beloved Bernina I still use!) My mom put me on the path to becoming a textile artist and seamstress and eventually I ended up in 4-H where I began developing my skills.
After 10 years in a graphic design career, I pursued my fashion design degree. Since then I've done freelance work for interior designers, creating one-of-a-kind window coverings, pillows and cushions for their clients. And in my Etsy store, I sell e-patterns and, making unique home products.
I am married to an awesome man who shares my love of gardening and dessert. We have two children and I own a marketing company called Wallflower Marketing.
I don't have a lot of time to sew but when I do, it makes me so happy. Please, take advantage of my passion and get yourself something good!
