KeepsakeSewing: Stockings

A fun project creating custom stockings, embroidered with their names for a client.

My Story:

When I was 9 years old my mom gave me her old sewing machine and I started sewing doll clothes. As a high school student I was an active 4-H member receiving many awards for my sewing projects. While at Iowa State University I used my sewing skills to help pay my way through college by working in the ISU Sewing room & doing alterations for a local bridal shop. In May of 1992 I graduated from ISU with a degree in Apparel Design, started a job as an Interior Designer & married my husband Kurtis after a 3 year courtship. As my husband & I relocated over the years I relied on my sewing skills for extra income. My jobs included sewing for bridal shops, creating samples for Old Navy fashion designers from New York & assembling custom window treatments. When our 3 children were small, I was a full-time stay-at-home mom & continued to sew out of our home.
While I enjoy all types of sewing, bridal and prom alterations is my passion and expertise. My attention to detail, knowledge of different fabrics, couture quality sewing & promptness is what sets me apart from other seamstress’.
