Ellie and Mac

My greatest wish for you is to dream big, create fearlessly, and go after the things that bring you and those around you joy!

I found my love of designing and sewing when I had my first daughter, Aubrey. I wanted her to wear the cute, boutique-style clothing I had found online, but I couldn't afford it. I decided to ask for a sewing machine for Christmas and proceeded to teach myself to sew.

Along the way, I realized that I had something special when it came to putting fabrics together and I loved the adorable creations I was making.

I began selling clothing online with the encouragement of family and friends. I learned new and better ways to make them each day and continued to grow my business. Ten years later, with a successful business, I wanted to give back. I decided to offer sewing patterns for the dresses I sold in my boutique for those who couldn't afford them. To me, this was giving back to where it all began for me.

From there I was hooked. Designing sewing patterns was so fun and I found that the more I worked at learning how to draft patterns, the better I became at it. I have been designing patterns since 2012, and there is nothing I love more.
