I started sewing at the age of ten, My Grandmother taught me all the aspects of hand sewing and using a regular sewing machine. I learned all the specialty knots of hand embroidery. I did garment sewing for myself and family leading into machine embroidery in the year 2000. I have taken many specialty classes in the industry since then; in 1998 I started doing craft shows with my mother. I made the Embroidered earrings and what a hit they were.  I also embellished many things with doing embroidery. The most challenging thing was putting a Scooby Doo design on our car dash mat.
