I am a self-taught sewer since age 20. In retirement from a 30 year career in education, I got serious about making my own clothes and a few ornaments until a friend gave me vintage linings from fur coats she was making Teddy Bears with.. That is when the creative juices really started. I had all these most wonderful ideas but didn't necessarily know how to pull a project together. Then Craftsy came about and there! so many practical and artistic ideas. It has become a passionate hobby: baby and wheel chair blankets, utility and dressy totes, travel bags for various purposes. It is so addictive! No time to busy bored!
