My Grandma Effie made clothes for her 11 school children in the 1920's, and made my high school prom dress in the 1950's! So I grew up surrounded by fabric. I could see every day the magic being created on her old Singer treadle machine. In spite of that, I didn't start sewing until well into my 40's. I've always been a cut-it-apart and put-it-back-together kind of person, but Grandma was going to be a tough act to follow. I now understand her amazing "natural" talent was a genius built from necessity, practice and imagination. I am mostly self-taught (like Grandma). But I am also a licensed Martha Pullen Heirloom Sewing instructor. Martha's licensing course opened my eyes to classic heirloom sewing techniques that I incorporate in many of my designs. I'm also a Lifetime Member of the Dressmaking Academy, where I learned to sew custom corsets and gorgeous special occasion dresses. In my small fabric-stuffed loft in Tucson, AZ, I read, train and breathe in daily the art of creating fine clothing. Now that I have years of experience under the hood, I look forward to sharing that practical magic here on GoImagine!
