When did you first start sewing and how did you learn?

I started when I was 12 by taking apart my clothes, copying them and sewing them back together. I also watched my aunt who is a master seamstress and bridal gown designer, I learned a lot while spending my summers in the corner of her studio hand sewing my barbie clothes.

Can you remember the first thing you made?

Yes a green fitted dress that was so tight my grandma had to cut it off of me. I have no idea how I manage to get it on but It was my first lesson in woven and stretch fabrics, lol.

Do you have any favourite pattern designers or celebrity sewers?

I love Kenneth King, he is so great and such a nice guy.

What's your sewing room like and how do you organize your stash?

My studio is my haven, I have everything you could need and I have three book tall bookshelves filled with fabric and 4 drawers of lining and interfacings.

What music/podcasts/TV shows do you love to stitch along to?

Law and Order SVU and Lifetime Movies

Do you do any other crafts and what are your hobbies?

I knit and crochet
