I was taught how to sew, knit, and crochet by my mom at a young age and from then on I was hooked. I loved going through her fabric and yarn stash so I could practice. I took sewing classes in Home Economics in 7th and 8th grade. I took sewing classes throughout college but sadly I didn't major in sewing, I graduated with a Science degree. I would sew every chance I had after work and I spent endless hours in fabric shops rummaging through bolts of fabric even though I really didn't need anymore fabric. When my kids were little I made most of their clothes, costumes, bedroom decor, you name it. As they got older, I started making bags for them, family and friends and eventually I took the plunge and left my corporate job, started my small business and opened up my bag shop on Etsy.

But my husband noticed that I had more bolts of fabric than bags in inventory so he suggested that I try to sell the fabric on the side while making my bags. It quickly took off. I contacted fabric reps in my area to come and show me the latest collections from well known manufacturers and my collection grew!

The best thing that happened to me was acquiring a studio space where I keep all my fabric as well sew and create my bags. Owning a small craft business has really made me appreciate other small businesses, the handmade industry, and all the makers out there pursuing their passions. It is a dream come true for me to be able to open this Etsy shop and have my own space to create and help others create.

Thank you to all my customers who have purchased bags, fabric, supplies from my shop. I I truly appreciate your business. Thank you for supporting small businesses and supporting handmade.
