Hi, my name is Mallory. I live in central Ohio with my three kids and my awesome husband. I love to sew and create and the introvert inside of me is learning to love to share my creations with the world.
I learned how to sew when I was about 6 from my mom who was an extremely talented quilter and all around crafty genius. Sewing was always around our house and I played around with it here and there, but I didn’t sew seriously until I graduated from college and received a new sewing machine for graduation. That’s when I started working in the fabric industry and truly discovered my passion for sewing, crafting and most importantly - Fabric! I’ve worked in the fabric industry since 2005 while holding down a few other jobs and selling my products at craft shows in Ohio. My basement studio is my happy place and I’d like to think that even Tim Gunn would be impressed with my fabric stash.
My “day job” is a virtual assistant in the sewing, craft and pattern design industry. I assist various clients across the US with customer service, social media, events, pattern testing, and any other projects that pop up. I love being able to work from home while still being a part of this creative community.
I learned a lot about sewing from my mom over the years but I am mostly self-taught. I think the most important thing my mom gave me was the confidence to say “I can make that” and believe it. I love learning new techniques and playing around with new crafts, I’m a Pinterest and Instagram addict but I consider it part of my continuing education so I don’t need an intervention… yet.
Other fun facts - my favorite color is yellow, I love doing puzzles, I think Tiny Homes are so fun and I want one to be my studio, I love doughnuts, I have a BA in Anthropology and I love Mayan archaeology - I’ve been to about 12 different sites throughout Central America. Did I mention that I love doughnuts? I also love cookies and goldfish crackers and most other sugary treats.
I would love to get to know you and find my tribe in the land of crafty ladies online, if you are one of those ladies I think we should be friends on Instagram and maybe even friends in real life someday. And in a few years when I’m famous and BFF with Martha Stewart you can say that you’ve known me forever.
