I really don’t remember a time when I didn’t sew.  My mother, grandmother, and many aunts all were accomplished seamstresses.  My earliest memory is of making a doll quilt with fabric scraps, using my child’s hand-cranked sewing machine when I was 8 years old.  By junior high, I was making most of my own clothes.  I took sewing in home ec. in high school and learned how to do things properly!  I continued making most of my own clothing and window treatments throughout college and early marriage.  When my first daughter was born, I enjoyed sewing for her too.  Throughout my two daughters’ lives, I always enjoyed making their special occasion dresses and decorating their bedrooms.  Now I enjoy sewing for my five granddaughters.

Although I had careers in teaching, counseling and financial planning, sewing was always the constant passion in my life.  Now that I am retired, I finally have the time to devote myself to my sewing passion.  Because of requests from friends and family, I decided to make it a business.  I continue to do dressmaking, alterations and window treatments.  My newest sewing passion is machine embroidery, which I enjoy very much.
