frog loves monkey began in 2008 after the birth of my son, when it became apparent to me that I couldn't leave him for the grueling hours involved with working in professional theatre. Sewing turned from my profession to my hobby...and back to my profession again very quickly, though instead of making clothes for imaginary people (as I once heard costume design so succinctly described), I started making clothes for brand new people. And then I started making other stuff for them. And then I started making stuff for their moms. And frog loves monkey was born. :)
In 2010, we moved our base from Texas to Arizona and, in early 2012, my mother and I officially joined forces. She's the one who taught me to sew and it was pointless to pretend that her ideas and sewing skills weren't an asset to the company. Next up, I plan to teach my now-preschool-aged son to sew for the shop. He already has his own sewing machine and is super excited about it. ;)
