Then I started sewing clothes for my stuffed animals and Halloween costumes for myself. Needless to say, I really enjoyed Home Economics at school when we had sewing.
Later on when I was going to college I worked in a fabric store and in the costume department. And so it continued bit by bit.
Now I enjoy making machine embroidery, free-motion embroidery and quilting projects.
And, in case you didn’t know, I am American. But I’ve been living in Germany for a very long time now. Nevertheless I still have an accent and I still sew in English.
I opened the Hands Gallery in March of 2011. It is an artists’ coop in Haidhausen, Munich. This is where you can usually find me – sewing, quilting, embroidering and organizing the store.
Since then I’ve been busy with the store and learning as much as I can about sewing, marketing, and more! Here you can see some of the courses I’ve tried out:
- Online Workshops with Dionne Swift
- Gail Harker Online Color Studies
- Sulky Teacher Certification
- Coursera Project – Creation of Artifacts in Society
- School of Stitched Textiles
