        A Short Little Auto Bio

        My photo
        Trinity
        I've been sewing for a long time -- 40 years or so. I've worked in factories, with designers, in costume shops, and on my own, and I never really get tired of it. I sew for my whole family -- myself, my husband, three sons, a daughter, a daughter-in-law, and a brand new granddaughter. Some projects are plain, some projects are fancy, and most of them are fun.
