Profile Information

About Me:

Retired in 2001 after 26 yrs with TN Dept Children's Services. Have been sewing since age of 7 and come from a long line of seamstresses. In college, I studied tailoring. Besides sewing, I love machine embroidery, needlework and photography plus collecting sewing books. In March, 2009 I started a sewing ministry within my church to do clothing repairs & alterations in exchange for a donation to the church. I also volunteer by teaching sewing to those who cannot afford to pay for lessons. I also have been helping the UMNC in their Refugee Economic Independence Program by working on donated machines to get them running. Even though, I have to use a wheelchair, I like to share my love of sewing with others. I am president of the Memphis Chapter of the American Sewing Guild.
