WELCOME TO HANDMADE BEGINNINGS!

I started sewing in high school and immediately fell in love. I remember thinking that my art and fashion teachers had the best jobs in the world. Over the years, I taught myself more sewing techniques through hands-on practice while sharing my creations on my blog. I soon found myself sewing by request for friends and family too! Not long after that I opened up a handmade toy shop and started local sewing classes teaching women and children everything I knew.

Nowadays you'll find me diving deep in the wonderful world of pattern making. It is just the right amount of math, computer tech, writing, photography, design, and sewing to fill every part of my creative cup, and I love creating new patterns for my shop!

When I’m not sewing and working on my small biz, you’ll find me homeschooling, exploring the great outdoors, reading, or traveling with my husband and 5 kiddos (while always on the lookout for local fabrics and textile traditions of course!).

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you'll join me for one of my in person or online classes and workshops, try out a beginner sewing pattern, or peruse the blog for fun tips, tutorials, and diy projects.
