Hopefully these tips will help guide your journey too! Sewing and knitting has been a therapeutic outlet and creative hobby of mine for over 15 years and I have finally turned my designs into a second career on Etsy. my Dad is a very talented woodcarver and water colorist, grandma was a water colorist, brothers are painters, etc. etc.) and this shop is my mode of creative expression. Although sewi
ng and knitting on the weekends might seem a bit on the "grandma" side, I embrace my inner "abuela" (a.k.a. my nickname when I lived in Spain). No longer embarrassed but proud, I embrace the title because my old world soul is reflected in all aspects of my life and transcends into my art you see throughout my shop. My love for classic and timeless style is reflected in all my creations but never at a costly price. I am resourceful in my designs by reusing clothing, fabric remnants and/or donated fabric to turn leftovers into functional art. A majority of my fabric samples are remnants; therefore, each product is unique to only the buyer and not mass produced. I try to live simply and reduce waste in my personal life and I am proud this is reflected in my handmade creations. Gift giving is one of my love languages and a way I express my love and appreciation for family and friends. The listings in my shop are eclectic and range from aprons to pillows to baby burp cloths. My favorite gift is a handmade one; which is why I enjoy making a variety of crafts for any occasion: housewarming, baby shower, wedding and holidays. Happy shopping and thank you for supporting handcrafted arts and entrepreneurial spirits!
