I’ve been designing, sewing, digitizing and embroidering for 20+ years… I’m a one-woman show - stitchin’ away & running my business full-time in my West Asheville home studio. Before the pandemic hit, I had managed and grown several embroidery departments - becoming an independent artist was always my end goal. In August 2020, I was able to take the leap! I had been laid off from my job and had no choice but to stay home with my children (try to homeschool them) and make it work! I LOVE what I do! I've always been an artist... drawing, painting, sculpting & now sewing. I first started sewing on my mom's old Kenmore in 2000, under the name 'Amiable Creations'. I'm a self-taught seamstress, mainly learning through trial and error... but, I've always loved to figure out how things are constructed. Even to this day when browsing through shopping racks, I study the garment... carefully inspecting how it was made. My first projects (& a lot of my recent ones) were made from salvaged pieces found in thrift stores or hand-me-downs from friends, and I continue to incorporate recycled fabrics and scraps into many of my creations. I love turning something old into something new ~ giving new life to a forgotten, tossed away garment. I am a fabric hoarder and have a hard time resisting fabrics that catch my eye in fabric stores, thrift stores & vintage shops.
