Stitch to Stitch!

Another one of my favorite etsy shops is called Stitch to Stitch! Check out a few of her lovely boutique clothing for children. Not only are the clothes adorable and made with the cutest fabrics but her skills are top notch (her hem lines are insanely straight), it is obvious she takes pride in her work and loves every minute of it!

The owner of Stitch to Stitch is Amanda and here is a little about her story behind her journey to become a very talented seamstress:

I'm celebrating my new life as a sewist!

As a child I was fascinated watching my Mom and Grandma turn fabric into beautiful handcrafted items. In my early 20's I finally got brave enough to try my hand at it. As much as I loved it, for many years I couldn't sit and sew without it triggering horrible headaches.

Thankfully, in 2009 my wonderful doctor figured out what was causing the headaches. I have an abnormality called a Chiari malformation. All it took was a little brain surgery to solve the problem -- I can sew again (as well as be able to function as a person) and love it.

Any time I finish a project I'm reminded of how fortunate I am. I'm thankful for another chance at life.
This store is my way of celebrating a second chance to do the things I love!

    Analia ~ I have typical migraines as well, but they're infrequent (especially since my surgery), thankfully! Sorry they can't find a solution to yours. :(

    Do you design all this? You have some really nice pieces.

  6. so glad they found a cure and what a gift you were also given with your ability to sew so wonderfully. I pretty much stick to straight lines.
