Hi! My name is Em. I have been sewing in one way or another since I was in 3rd grade when my wonderful Grandmother (who was a seamstress herself) taught me the basics and set me well on my way. In a way I feel I am continuing her legacy, and am so honored to be able to do so.
My Grandmother, in the 1950s, on Easter in a suit she made.
Through the years I have made everything from basic circle skirts to quilts, costumes, and wedding gowns, including my own. In college I worked in the school costume shop where I gained a lot of knowledge and have continued to practice and grow my skills and techniques. I believe in continual learning and growth. Lately, I have been working on tailoring and historical garments.
