Meet the Maker

HELLO, I’M EVANGELINE

I fell in love with sewing back in high school and never looked back. After years of learning through hands-on practice and sharing my makes online, I opened a handmade toy shop and began teaching sewing to women and children in my community.

These days, I’m focused on designing beginner-friendly sewing patterns and teaching both in person and online. When I’m not sewing, I’m homeschooling, exploring nature, or traveling with my husband and our five kids—always on the hunt for beautiful fabrics and textile traditions.

Thanks for stopping by—take a look around and join me in stitching something special!
