Been sewing and doing clothing alterations for over 45 years. :) While growing up and raising a husband and children, ha ha. Also worked in a Loan Payoff department of a Bank then retiring from the CA State Court in Santa Barbara County for 22 yrs. Now my husband "Van" and I are both retired and going around the US being Camp Hosts in exchange for space rents. I of course kept my Sewing machine & Serger to make some of the creative bags that I started making a few years back for me at first, then giving them as gifts to family and friends. When I needed to liquidate everything my sewing room in our 4 bedroom home, I chose my favorite fabrics and pre-cut many items to sew up later. Many of the items were the bags and others were other gifts items and of course clothing for my husband and me. You can get in touch with me with any questions by email ([email protected]) or visiting my Facebook page (http://facebook.com/PamsCreativeBags ) While donating 20% of my profits to the Salvation Army (one of my favorite charities).
