Hi, my name is Emily. Thank you for visiting my blog!
I have always been drawn to all things crafty and DIY. When I was in college, I received a small beginner sewing machine and was determined to remember everything I had learned in my 6th grade Home Ec. classes. By the time my first child was born, I had discovered the online sewing world and upgraded my machine to keep up with my growing hobby. I was beginning to experiment with garment making, when one day my husband asked, “Do you think you could make me a hoodie?” I laughed at him and replied, “No way! I would need a whole other machine and I have no idea how to sew stretchy fabrics.” Well, here I am now, 4 more machines later and knits are my most used fabrics.
I am a stay-at-home mom to 3 energetic boys who, along with their dad, indulge my dressing them up and photographing them. It’s the price they all pay to get new handmade clothes. When new fabric shows up in the mail, they actually argue over who gets which piece. I can hardly take any of them fabric shopping with me without walking out with a to-do list longer than my arm.
Other than sewing, you can often find me at the Disney theme parks, playing board games, having family movie nights, hanging out by the pool with my kids, drinking wine with my besties, or traveling all while listening to the latest mystery podcast.
Thanks again for joining me! I hope you’ll be inspired, share your own thoughts with me and possibly even learn something. If so, I’d love to hear from you!
