Welcome

New! Amy Butler QuiltThanks for stopping by!

I have always loved crafting, but started sewing in High School. One of my first major projects was my Jr. Homecoming dress in royal blue satin and chiffon. Since then I’ve dabbled in all types of sewing, from quilting to home decor, from bridal sewing to minor alterations. I’ve worked selling 2 major home sewing machine brands, in a quilt shop where I taught sewing classes, and as the Alterations Manager for a well known Bridal Store. Now my sewing work is mainly done out of my home.

In all the years since I finished college, I have tried to be a dressmaker, make items to sell on Etsy, along with various other stitching endeavors, but I haven’t really found my real passion. So, this year, I am destashing and sewing for me and my family…just for FUN!  And I’m having a great time. I wonder if in all these projects, somewhere, is some inspiration, a niche, my own little place in the sewing world. But until I find it, I’ll just keep sewing what I want to sew, gaining inspiration from other seamsters out there, helping my friends find their way into the stitching world through sewing days/classes and enjoying this varied craft that many call sewing. Sold!

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you enjoy the chronicles of my sewing journey.

Sincerely,

Jaime
