Been sewing since...: Age 6, when I learned how to do embroidery. Made
doll clothes later on from scrap fabrics. In 2002 I got into historic costuming
and launched my home-based business in early 2003. Got into dolls in late
2004 and I find myself back to making doll clothes again! Vicious circle there,
eh? I've worked as a professional tailor outside the home since September
2004.
Influences: Pleasant Rowland, Lee Middleton, Val Shelton. Ironically, they all
make pretty babies, but their attention to detail is what inspires me to do what I
do. Also, any of the musicians/actors/etc I have made dolls of.
