I have been involved with fabric all of my life. My grandmother taught me to sew at a young age and I would design and make some of my own clothes. I also made a crocheted vest at 11 and shortly after was knitting and designing my own sweaters. I learned to spin and tapestry weave with my mother whilst in high school. At 18 I went to college in Carlisle, England and studied Textile Design majoring in weaving. My first real job was working for Laura Ashley in one of their factories that produced clothing, I was trained, becoming proficient and fast on the sewing machine.
