5 out of 5 starsExcellent quality and even cuter than I imagined it would be. My 4 year old is in love and I couldn't have asked for a better made item.

5 out of 5 starsLook no further! If you need a special gift, Simple Stitches is your person! Rachelle was amazing to work with and her abilities are amazing. My mother in law recently passed and she made animals out of some of her clothing. They were all unique and well done!

5 out of 5 starsMy grandparents have always been such an important part of my life, and it is so special that my little boy will have a memory puppy to remember each of them. Thank you so much, Rachelle, for creating these precious keepsakes in memory of my favorite people. I could not be more pleased with how both of my purchases have turned out. ❤

5 out of 5 starsWhen Rachelle says she puts her heart into everything she makes, she isn’t lying! My mother in law recently passed and Rachelle made 6 animals, 6 ornaments and two pillows out of various clothing and a wedding dress. Everything was so well made and beautiful. Rachelle”s communication with the buyer is impeccable. No need to look any further, use her!

a stitch at a time...
I learned to sew when I was a teenager in Home Ec, but I never took it serious until after I started having children in my early 20's. When my girls were young I made matching dresses for them every Easter & Christmas. During this same time I also had a business making clothes for breast feeding moms.
Now that my children are older I am making everything from pajama's to formals for their school dances. In 2011 I made my very first stuffed animal, a big soft bear, for my youngest son. Shortly after this I had friends asking me to make things for them and I decided to make this a way I could help support my family while doing something that I love and still being home with my children.
My newest adventure is making memory animals and quilts. It is such an honor and privilege to help create and preserve memories of loved ones for others.
I love many other sorts of crafts, but don't get to do them regularly, such as cross stitch, crochet, tole painting, scrapbooking, DIY home decor, etc.
I am also a professional photographer... you can see my work at: www.rpsphotography.com or www.facebook.com/rpsphotography
