I've been sewing since I was big enough to sit at my grandma's sewing machine, but I earned most of my experience sewing clothing so that I could go on Grateful Dead, then Phish tour back in the early 90's. Besides being a WAHM dog groomer, I sew in my "spare" time. I made my first backpack when I was stuck at home and needed a gift for a friend's 2 year old's birthday. He loved it. Another mom asked for one, then another, then another. Before I knew it, I was on my 50th backpack! I really do enjoy finding vintage and faded clothing to use in my work. I find colors that you wouldn't otherwise see!
I truly hope that you and your family can enjoy what I've made with so much love.
