I have written books about sewing for children and adults and I'm the indie designer’s patternmaking secret weapon. I've taught video and in-person classes to anyone who would listen since 2008.

I was thinking recently about how much I love Japan.  I mean LOVE Japan.

I studied Japanese in college.

I love Japanese Food. 

You know there’s not much more inspiring to me than Japanese Craft Books (in fact, our book was modeled after those gems of the craft world, to bring the beautiful Japanese aesthetic to western seamsters.)

I have 2 Mazdas.

I drive a Yamaha motorcycle.

My most coveted fabric is from Japan.

With 4 children — ranging from 20 down to 4 — we have everything from Gothic Lolita and Anime down to PokÔ
