Linda loves spending time with her family, and jogging, but her next love is SEWING!
Linda’s Aunt was a trained seamstress in Hungary and her Mother always had a sewing machine on the dining room table. Linda’s Aunt could make an evening dress out of a pile of fabric, without a pattern, and her Mother was thrifty and always had a sewing machine out on the dining room table, mending an old garment to make it new again. Linda has always been surrounded by sewing projects. Her Aunt and Mother inspired her and taught her how to sew at a young age. She remembers sewing Barbie clothes in elementary school and outfits in middle school. Her proudest moment was designing and sewing her own wedding dress.

Growing up my family reused everything, not because we were thinking of the environment but because we needed to. This reuse and repurposing always fascinated me. I would watch my mother refashion old clothes into new outfits for me with her trusty sewing machine or snuggle with my grandma on a Saturday morning while she darned thinning socks. One of my favorite things was sitting in a sunny corner of the sewing room sifting through buttons. Those buttons were like “eye candy” to me and not just because they were hidden in an old cookie tin! There were just so many colors, textures, shapes and sizes, each one more intriguing then the next. From these memories and life experiences my passion for creativity was born.

In a former professional life I was once a craft magazine editor (amongst other things along the way). It used to be my job to make stuff, write about making stuff, write instructions, attend photo shoots, interview clever craftspeople. It was wonderful and I loved how craft and making things is more than just the objects, it’s about people and their stories.
Then I got married, moved, got a new job in a different field, had two delightful daughters, and suddenly I was always too busy, too tired, too everything. Too not ME.I realised I did not want to make craft things any more. I wanted to make things for ME. Selfish but true. So I am learning to sew clothes better, fit clothes, make muslins, insert zippers, do French seams and more!

My name is Lauren Taylor. I am a 34 year old native Nashvillian with a love for all things sewing-related. I have a mean cat named Amelia Earhart and a lot of free time to devote to my passions. My life is pretty awesome.
In addition to sewing, I love riding my bicycle and eating tomatoes and watching Back to the Future. I am an avid knitter who has currently knit over 15 sweaters (and now the sock obsession has started, whee), and I also dabble in embroidery and watercolor painting. Someday, I’d also like to learn wood working, because why not? Who doesn’t want to build their own table, amirite?

Hi there, I’m Merrick! Welcome to Merrick’s Art. I’m a blogger, stylist, seamstress, clothing designer, mama of three boys, wife to a wonderful guy, and we live in north Dallas, Texas.
I started Merrick’s Art back in 2008 when I was in college getting my art degree. After my first baby was born in 2010, I discovered my love of sewing and spent a year or two doing a lot of clothing refashions, starting with this one right here. It was at least a year before I finally got brave enough to cut into a piece of fabric and start something from scratch, but I stuck with it and got better with every project (although I still threw away a lot of projects)! There’s nothing more thrilling for me than designing and constructing a beautiful piece of clothing.

In 2010, we had a simple business plan: Open up a sewing studio and classroom space that served Portland by providing a welcoming and well-equipped space with quality sewing machines and the friendly support to use them. Even if you didn’t have a sewing space of your own, you had ours.
Our business evolved quickly over the last decade. We became a BERNINA dealer, started selling fabric, bought our own building, and opened a second location. However, the most important thing we’ve done in the last ten years is help build the most incredible community of sewists of all ages, genders, and backgrounds. Our staff members have become dear friends and our wonderful customers have all become part of our big MD family.

My name is Julia and I’m a coffee person with a sewing problem.
August 27th, 2009 was the day that I first slouched in front of a sewing machine and sewed two pieces of calico together with a straight stitch.
It was love at first stitch for me, and ever since I have spent all my waking hours fantasising about what I’m going to make next.

Hi I’m Frankie, I’m Currently a stay at home mum to a small boy and I make a LOT of stuff! I’ve been knitting, painting and sewing for as long as I can remember and I have always enjoyed sharing my passion with others! I have no official training or qualifications , so I’ve learnt from the school of mistakes. There have been days when I’ve wanted to throw my sewing machine out of the window and I’ve definitely had the days where every time I count a row of stitches it comes out as a new number!

I’ve been sewing and crafting for over 40 years. It started when I was about 10 years old, the sewing part at least. As a kid, I was always doing something creative. Back to the sewing.., I made doll clothes from scraps given to me. It was so much fun. By age 12 in middle school, students were “required” to take home economics (cooking and sewing) and shop. This was my first formal class in sewing. But like most sewists, I come from a family where women make and sew all sorts of things. I grew up during a time where women spent a lot of time in the home and they used their creative talents to improve their lifestyle. Both of my grandmothers sewed, making everything from quilts, to baby clothes, to wardrobes that any woman would love to have. Most of my family thinks I’m more like my paternal grandmother. This woman was super creative and quite the entrepreneur

Hi, I am Lori from the Midwest, born and raised in the same small town. Married to Mike and mom to 4 incredible, marvelous, wonderfully talented girls and now a “nana” to two cute little ones. We have had the pleasure and joy of raising 4 these girls in this town. Our oldest was married to a great guy in 2009 and we now have a son, too. Then in August 2015, we welcomed another son, when our youngest daughter was married. My husband always told people when they asked, “don’t you want a son?” he replied, “the sons will come.” and he was so right.
Sewing has been a part of my life since 7th grade home arts class. I made an apron in class and that was the official start of my sewing passion. The summer before my 8th grade year and home economics class, my mom would take me to the local department store to buy a pattern and fabric. I would come home and she would patiently help me make that very first wrap sundress. I sewed on her Singer machine in the utility room, just off the kitchen and mom would be right there to help every step of the way. My jumper was blue with plaid straps, tie and pocket trim. I thought it was beautiful.

I live in Dorking, just south of London and work in the wonderful world of costume for theater and events. I’m a Costume Supervisor, which in a nutshell means I am responsible for making the designer’s ideas a reality. Day to day this can involve sourcing fabrics and haberdashery, buying clothing and footwear, costume fittings, dress rehearsals, organizing makers and managing budgets.
About seven years ago I discovered the amazing world of sewing blogs and decided to stop just admiring the skills of the costume makers I work with give sewing a whirl myself. This spur of the moment idea swiftly developed into an addiction and full blown love affair with fabrics and learning new techniques. I started this blog to track my progress, projects and ideas but through it have also ended up meeting a huge community of fantastic friends. I sew purely for the enjoyment of it and mainly make clothes for myself, although I do enjoy making the odd crafty little project for others and I love sharing all of it with you!

I like many things, but just can’t stand to sit still and do nothing. I love crafts, drawing, decorating, making beautiful thing out of scratch with my own hands and above all – I simply adore sewing!
I also love spending time outdoors, but at the end of the day I end up drinking tons of black coffee and staying up until the wee hours to work on one of my latest projects. It is during these hours which I have to myself that I feel perfectly complete and focused.
