Send us Fan MailThis creative entrepreneur’s sewing journey began in 1989 in Okinawa, Japan, when her husband used his military signing bonus to buy her first sewing machine. Though skeptical at first, she ventured into sewing baby clothes, pillows, and table runners with mixed success. Determined to improve, she kept experimenting. By 1995, after moving back to the states, she discovered a local sewing class that became a turning point.
