About
artist. designer. seamstress. wife. mother.
i was born to create. whether it be sewing a vintage-inspired dress, knitting a Parisian beret, or hand embroidering a delicate face onto a cloth doll, i have always loved to see what my hands create. lately, i find myself focusing on sewing summer frocks and knitting gifts for the little ones in my life. my three and a half year old daughter is the apple of my eye and the inspiration for my craft. patiently, she waits by the sewing machine eager to try on a new dress, play with a new toy, or cover her dolly in a pint-sized handmade quilt. she has such a grateful spirit and it motivates me to share my gift with others. i hope you enjoy what you see! feel free to leave any comments if you wish. (more projects coming soon!)
