Meet the Maker
My mother always told me, “a gift of the hand is a gift of the heart.”
When I’m at the sewing machine, my thoughts are for the women who will eventually use my products.
Are you a bride purchasing makeup bags for your attendants? Perhaps you’re a recent graduate just starting a career and needing a colorful pouch to tuck into your purse or briefcase. Or maybe you’re a teenager who wants something cute to carry your air-pods and some cash.
Whoever you are, I imagine sewing for you and imbue what I make with love and hope for your pleasure.
My items are truly handmade. I limit the number of projects that I sew at a time, and I don’t keep an inventory of fabric, so each design comes in limited quantities.
From my hand and heart to yours….

How it’s Made
How It’s Made
Each of my bags, pouches, and totes is handcrafted with intention, care, and a deep love for textiles. I use 100% cotton and organic denim—from the outer fabric to the lining and woven interfacing—chosen for its softness, strength, and timeless quality. These aren’t just materials—they’re part of the story. Every fabric I select speaks to me in its own way. Some are bright and bold, others playful or subtle, but all are rich with personality.
Lining each bag is a thoughtful process. I spend time pairing fabrics that either blend seamlessly or offer a striking contrast—bringing an extra layer of beauty to the inside, just for you.
Even the zippers are special. I often mix two zipper halves to create a custom, two-toned finish, then add a third color for the pull—making each closure a unique, joyful detail. It’s a little artistic flourish you’ll notice every time you open your bag.
Practicality matters too. Most tote includes a zippered pocket on the outside, a roomy divided pocket inside, and usually an extra zip and slip pocket as well. Because staying organized should feel just as thoughtful as the design itself.
Each piece is made slowly, by hand, and with love—meant to last, and to bring joy with every use.
