This is where all of the constructing happens.
Two machines to help create the finished look.
This backdrop for the outfits was a garage sale find! What a great day that was.
It has wide boards on one side and thin boards on the other side.
It also has a bonus of a neutral fabric backdrop.

My dream of sewing and creating everyday has finally come true!

My story began with eighth grade home economics class when we started the sewing section of the semester. I was enticed with the whole process of being able to pick your own fabric and pattern to make a garment uniquely yours. My first completed project was a blazer and skirt. When I think about it now, I realize that my teacher was quite wonderful to help me as a beginner sewer through all of those steps. My mom also encouraged me in my sewing projects and is the main reason why I did not give up. Sewing takes so much time and patience but is very gratifying when a project is completed. After High School, I embarked on my nursing career and finished four years of college. I worked for seventeen years in the nursing profession and then focused on raising my family.
My three children all became involved heavily with theatre at very young ages. I became a volunteer costume mom and sewed like crazy and learned so much by working with other sewing moms. After ten years, I decided to try retail work for five years in a fabric department and learned so much. The problem was that I looked at beautiful fabrics every day and had so many things that I wanted to make, but not enough time. It was then that I decided to pursue my dreams and develop my sewing business. Recently, creating recycled sweater mittens and decorative baskets has become my passion. I am also selling many beautiful vintage items from my home. My wonderful husband has never stopped believing in me and I am so grateful!
Thank you for reading my story. It is my hope that you can follow your dreams everyday and give thanks to those who help you to do it.
