I've been designing and sewing since before I can remember. There are pictures of me at my grandmother's 1963 Singer when I was two years old. That was almost 25 years ago. Now I'm 8 sewing machines deep, with 2 antique Singer treadle machines (a 1910 Red Eye and a 1901 Sphinx), four industrial machines, and the two domestic Janomes I've been sewing on since high school.
