stay open

Stephanie keeps herself sane while staying at home in Iowa with a toddler and baby through sewing and crafts. She loves upcycling, using up scraps, and experimenting with color and pattern. Raised in a creative household bursting with fabric, she dove into sewing herself when her son was born and she found retail shops' strictly gendered clothing options limiting. She also has a passion for handmade toys; selling PDF sewing patterns and sharing free tutorials for toys that encourage open-ended, imaginative play. Stop by and check out what she's making this week!
