Hi, I'm Nikki
Hi, and thanks for stopping by my site.
​
I am so glad you are here.
​
My Mom was a sewist. She would make me dresses and skirts. I also watched her sew our school clothes and I watched her create one of my sister's full school wardrobes for a new school year. I was never interested in sewing. I watched her sew but I never gravitated toward sewing as a hobby.
​
Once I graduated from high school, I moved to Atlanta to attend college and remained there for 20 years. I had several friends who were sewist and that is where I would go to get clothes that fit my body like a glove. I have always been a curvy girl and let's be clear I love and have always loved my curves. Once I realized I had to have a serious relationship with a sewist and a tailor, life changed for me. Fit issues became a thing of the past. When I relocated bask to the Northeast, I was back to store shopping and I hated it! Even with that change, I never thought about learning to sew.
​
I set an intention for the 2020 New Year and promised myself that I would make this year all about me. Little did I know that a Pandemic would take place and allow me more time than I could imagine to sew and learn all that I needed to know about this craft. I set up an Instagram page for my sewing and connected with so many beautiful people and learned so much.
​
I have accomplished a lot in my first year of sewing. Probably one of my highlights was being a guest Editor on SEW OVER 50. It boosted my confidence and once again allowed me to connect with the amazing sewing community. In my first year, I also had the pleasure of testing patterns for different companies! This journey has been amazing.
​
I started this BLOG to be able to highlight my journey, connect with other creatives, and for collaborating! So let's connect and work together!
