I love to be able to make things that I can’t find in stores.
When sewing, I can lose myself. I’m no longer tired, it’s my creative outlet. Love learning and trying new things and seeing what I can create.
Sewing is my therapy, it is my relaxation and it is such fun! I love the many things to sew and add my own touches. I love being creative and this hobby seams (pun intended) to be limitless.

I love to sew because I can make what I want and not have to rely on what is avaiable.
Sewing is a passion for me. Its one of those things that is hard to explain. If I need to just get away I will scan over my patterns and books and can get lost for hours just deciding what project to work on. The fabrics and notions are like an endless sea of beauty just waiting to be turned into something to be treasured by someone I love. I also teach children to sew. They are amazing, I had a little boy in my class last year and he enjoyed it so much. He could sew straighter than the little girls! It is such a bonding time for me and my daughter, and nieces to be able to pass down a craft such as this. I feel truly blessed to be able to sew.
