MY STORY

Hi, I'm Lisa!

​

I've been sewing, crafting, painting... and just creating for as long as I can remember. 

I first began my crafting journey at a very young age when my paternal grandmother taught me how to crewel embroidery and crochet. I was fascinated as I sat next to her watching her finger fly, creating beautiful designs and usable items for those she loved. 

​

In my early teen years, my mother taught me how to sew on an old Singer sewing machine, and in her words, I surpassed her expertise as I made all my own formal gowns, which often included boning, invisible zips, stays, etc.

​

As a young mother on a tight budget, I sewed many of my children's clothing from repurposed clothing I had purchased from second-hand stores. It felt good knowing I was caring for my family as well as putting to use some adorable fabrics that may otherwise be wasted. Sewing was a hobby and I also did repair work for a few people.

 

Throughout my life thus far, I've picked up many creative hobbies such as crewel, crocheting, and painting, but sewing has always been a constant. Sewing has also always been in demand, and as the only person in the family who knows how to create and alter clothing and other items my gift of sewing has been a Godsend.  

​

For the past few years, I've been exploring quilting, machine embroidery, and bag making - often blending the modalities together to make unique items. I love all steps of the creative process and look forward (sometimes 10 projects ahead, it seems) to creating new patterns with stylish embellishments and fabrics.

​

Machine Embroidery is an add-on to my makes. I often create monogrammed items or items for special events. Ask me - I'll tell you if I can do it.  

​

I hope you find what you're looking for or something that you didn't even know you needed. Whether for yourself or that special person in your life, take a look around! If you have any questions don't hesitate to email me at support@lisaclairedesign.com.

God Bless!

Lisa
