Hello! I have been creating ‘something’ since I was in third grade when I received my first sewing machine. My first project was a pair of funky purple paisley, bell-bottomed, hand sewn, barbie doll pants!

I had 2 aunts that spent time teaching me how to do hand-embroidery, crewel, candlewicking, needlepoint, anything with a needle, you name it. I also learned to crochet and made a ton more barbie doll clothes. My barbies were the best dressed in the neighborhood for sure! We would have music shows where I would sing every word of Dolly Parton’s ‘Coat of Many Colors’. Have you ever listened to that song? It was written for me, right down to the kids teasing her for wearing that coat to school ‘that my momma made for me, made only from rags, but I wore it so proudly’.

I remember the first time I saw something stitched on a pair of denim jeans. I couldn’t believe it! How did they do that? By hand? By machine? I was in love, instantly. I’ve always loved monogramming, I mean who doesn’t want their initials sewn on to every piece of clothing, every piece of luggage, every piece of bedding? I never tire of the perusing all of the embroidery thread colors and matching them to items people want embroidered. I want them to stand out, to be different, to say ‘Now that’s different! Where on earth did you get that?’ I hope to get you as excited about machine embroidery and to see you soon for a chat!
