Get To Know Angela (In Her Own Words)
"As a mother to four adorable girls, I have always loved sewing little girly things for them. When they started growing out of ruffles and bows, I started sewing miniature versions of my favorite things. In searching for a way to fund my hobby, I found that designing patterns for dolls was almost as much fun as sewing for them. My (real) girls play an active role in my designs, sharing ideas and opinions, and providing artwork for parts of the patterns. My husband patiently tolerates the fabric stashes around the house, the dolls all over the dining room table, and the threads on the bottom of his socks!
It has been so much fun to partner with the Pixie Faire team for the past three years. Thank you for continuing to shop through our patterns. I hope you enjoy them as much as we enjoyed creating them!"
Inquiring Minds Want To Know:
Q: What inspired your brand name?
When I was trying to decide what to name my brand, I knew I wanted something short, catchy, easy to spell and remember, while still representing me and what I do.
Q: What’s your favorite sewing tip?
Press every seam. I learned this in a quilting class, and I feel that taking the time to do that has really helped the overall look of my sewing projects. Now, it’s second nature to turn on my iron before I turn on my sewing machine.
Q: Is there a new hobby, craft, or skill you’d like to learn?
I’ve always wanted to learn how to play the piano. I started lessons when my kids were taking them, but as a busy mom of three it just got to be too much. Now that I have a little more white space in my life, maybe it’s time to try again.
Q: Who is your favorite doll?
My favorite doll is still my first one. Nellie - the little Irish orphan. I love her unique hair and cute freckles.
Q: What’s your favorite flower or plant?
My favorite flower is the sunflower!
