Angela's Journey in Sewing & Design

Angela's passion for sewing began at the young age of 7 in St. Louis, Missouri. She started by hand-sewing pillows and clothing for her dolls, and soon advanced to creating garments for herself. Her very first handmade piece was a halter top, crafted from a self-designed newspaper pattern and sewn entirely by hand with a needle and thread.

At the age of 9, Angela began taking formal sewing lessons, which allowed her to further refine her skills and expand her wardrobe. By 15, her talent was evident, and she began sewing for others. Angela still proudly owns her very first Singer Sewing Machine (a children's version), along with the full-size Singer machine gifted to her by her parents upon graduating high school.

Professional Experience

Angela has built a loyal client base across the United States. Her expertise extends beyond apparel—Her extensive experience in both apparel and interior sewing has made her a trusted name in the craft.

Despite maintaining a full-time government position for many years, Angela has always stayed true to her passion for sewing and design. Now, she is excited to fully pursue her lifelong dream—creating beautiful pieces and sharing her knowledge with others. A self-proclaimed perfectionist, Angela is known for her meticulous attention to detail and commitment to craftsmanship. Her motto: “If it can be made (sewn), I can make it.”
