A mother-daughter sewing business venture.
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: STORE CLOSING
eStudio60 will be closing their shop at the end of 2024. This has been a hard decision because we have had some wonderful customers these last several years. You've given us the opportunity to ship our products coast to coast, including Alaska and Hawaii! Some of you have been repeat customers and others have even inspired a few of our products.
A few of the factors leading to this decision are continually increasing shipping costs, some changes in Etsy fees and policies, and Nancy's desire to retire. In addition, over the last couple of years, Nancy and Amanda have both achieved the status of cancer survivors.
Although we will no longer have a presence on Etsy, we will maintain our social media accounts for a while. Feel free to reach out to us via Facebook, X or Instagram.
Watch for sales beginning 9/15 24!
It's been a blessing to serve you. Please continue to support small businesses like ours.
***************
Business owners, Nancy McSpadden and Amanda Emery, are a mother and daughter who love to sew! Nancy's interest in sewing began when she enrolled in her junior high's home economics class. Although the teacher didn't think she held much promise, her mother and grandmother felt differently. They continued to encourage and tutor her in the art. By the time time Nancy was in high school, she was making all of her own clothes and gift items for friends and family. She got her first paid sewing job while working at a bank when she was 21. A co-worker asked her to make the bridesmaids' dresses for her daughter's wedding.
Naturally, when Amanda came along, Nancy made her clothes, as well. It didn't take long for Amanda to develop the same interest in sewing. She often took fabric scraps from her mom's stash to make clothes for her dolls. She even made a little tuxedo for a stuffed walrus she had. By the time Amanda was in high school, she was making some of her own clothes. But, Nancy made Amanda's prom dress and wedding dress.
The real catalyst for this business came when Amanda became pregnant with the first grandchild. Nancy got busy making lots of things for the nursery - crib sheets, receiving blankets, hooded towels, quilts, afghans, and more. As Amanda's friends saw the various items, they started requesting some of the items for their own babies or for shower gifts. With a lot of prompting from Amanda, eStudio60 was born.
Today, Nancy and Amanda put their creative minds and talents together to produce a wide range of hand-made gifts.
