My love of sewing began at 7 years of age, when my mother taught me how to make pillows by hand. I then graduated to a hand-cranked machine, and later used her machine to make my own clothes throughout my teen years. I’ve always enjoyed creating unique and useful items. As a mom, I made many clothes for my children, like new pajamas every year for Christmas Eve. As a grandma I enjoy creating gifts for my grandchildren from pj's to tents!

I still love sewing and learning new skills. But I also want the next generation to learn to sew. It is wonderful to sense their excitement at making their first creations while I get to pass along my passion for sewing.
