About Me
Hello, and welcome to Sew Nerdy's blog. My name is Christina, and I would like to thank you for taking the time to explore this site. I hope that you find something in this blog that gives you inspiration, or just puts a smile on your face.
I have been around sewing ever since I can remember. My mother was constantly sewing dresses for me and my two sisters, as well as costumes for Halloween and school plays. At an early age, I showed an interest in sewing, and began making clothes for my dolls, which turned into clothes for myself and friends. I received my first sewing machine as a gift from my grandparents for my 16th birthday, and my love for sewing has been evolving ever since.
After starting a job at a fabric store, it became apparent that fabric would be my vice in life, and it takes a lot of willpower to "Just Say No!" The store that I worked at specialized in home and upholstery fabrics, which opened my eyes to a whole new world of sewing. Soon my apartment was filled with custom drapes, bedding, pillows, you name it. Eventually I became the go to translator for a local upholsterer who was teaching classes at the store, and the final piece to my sewing puzzle was found. I love upholstery!
Now I am able to take all of my knowledge of sewing and love of upholstery, and turn it into how I make a living. There is nothing better than working with someone to create the perfect piece that finishes their vision.
