I think of myself as a textile artist.
So much of my work is for beginners, motivating them and instructing them on the minutia of clothing construction. I take a sewing concept and I break it down in enough detail for anyone to understand. I take pride in this work. I love doing it. But.
I started sewing because I fell in love with making quilts. I love the color-combining process of making and designing patchwork. Over the years, I have experimented with creating new forms for my patchwork to live in. Through that experimentation, I have enjoyed making soft sculptures and clothing. I discovered a passion, and I am so grateful.
However, I never understood how to combine these two video ideas of clothing construction (which is how I make money) with my love of quilts and soft sculpture.
As I develop more as a human, artist, and content creator, I am realizing that sharing passion is as important as sharing the details. I have loved making sewing process videos for patchwork art in the last couple of months. I am elated that these are among my best-performing videos!

I am so proud to be a textile artist who teaches others How to Develop a Sewing Brain (IYKYK). I think I am living out my calling and I do not take that for granted.
If you would like to spend some time with me while I make a soft sculpture, then click below to see my latest YouTube video!
It is 12 minutes of my sewing process, and I really enjoy the sculpture we make together!
as always, thanks for being here :)
Can’t say when I’ve enjoyed a sewing YouTube as much as your tube quilt video ~ Hilarious and inventive! Always happy to see what fellow Portlanders are making too. Keep on keeping on!
You are awesome and amazing! 💕
