Lifelong crafters, Sarah and Emily were looking for a creative outlet outside of their already heavy-rotation of sewing, beading, costume-making, quilting, and yes, working full time. Sarah, an avid anime fan, suggested they go to Otakon in Baltimore over 14 years ago. Emily, the unsuspecting younger sister, tagged along not knowing the world she was about to crash into. Fast-forward a few years and more conventions later, they decided to start making cosplay teddy bears to sell at anime conventions. Doing it for fun more than profit, that first Tekkoshocon in Pittsburgh was a success (and also where Sarah first met the now-dubbed Able-Brother-in-Law, Jay). Expanding into pin-making, perler art, jewelry, plushies, zombie teddy bears, quilts, and much much more, Able Sisters Fan Crafts rolls along - enjoying every minute!
