Being a creator of stuffed friends, I know the heart and soul that in added to each animal, espically when each piece has a careful construction of fun patterned and colorful fabrics. I love that each pattern has a name, as if it was born during the creative process.Jessica like so many of us seamstresses, is addicted to fabric. This comes to an advantage to her, because no two creations are alike. But sewing is not her only talent, she also does photography and designs using the computer. Her talents are clearly shown in her work
“I've been sewing since I was a child. I use to make myself dollhouse dolls and clothes. I enjoy quilting, knitting, crochet and I try just about anything (hence my messy abundance of crafting supplies in my home). I decided to try my hand at pattern making so that my animal friends would be original to me. That was harder than I thought it would be but very rewarding.”
I am just in love with the simplicity of this shop, and the whimsical imagination. I can just picture myself as a little girl with a huge stuffed animal collection, I would have loved one of these creations in my ‘family’ of stuffed friends.
Jessica is still waiting for that first sale! It could be you! Keep an eye on this shop, she let me in on a preview: “I'm working on more animals-the next coming is the dog, "Stickley" I also have in process cats and bats for halloween (in halloween prints) and a reindeer and penguin for Chrsitmas (in holiday fabrics). I'm also planning to sell my patterns when I get all that figured out and going. It is a process but it is fun! I'm listing birthday and baby cards with the bunny from my Cotton Creek design drawn on them for those that would like to purchase the card to give the gift and have it coordinate.”
