About

I’ve been making things for as long as I can remember. One of my first sewing lessons must have been with a needle and red thread, and I stitched around a colorbook page of Red Riding Hood. In the second grade, with Mom’s help, I made my very first pantsuit (hint to my age perhaps?). The top was a pink calico print and the bottom was solid pink. It even had a belt.

In the first grade I wrote my first book.  I won the Young Author’s Award.  I still have it.

I studied Fashion Design at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY and worked in the Fashion Industry for 20+ years.

I used to have a sewing lounge (I loved that sewing lounge).  I recently gave up sewing (for real).  Unloaded all my supplies (ok I still have the dressform and a sewing machine, but really, nothing else), and I’ve started writing.  You can read a little about that here.

Oh, and I do yoga.  I love it.  I think about how it’s changed me here.

I don’t know what’s next, but I can promise you, I won’t be bored.  Thanks for visiting.  XO
