Nice to Meet you!

Hi, I’m Amanda! I’m a Philadelphia-based sewing educator, fabric designer, and pattern maker with a deep love for cheerful prints and truly one-of-a-kind garments. My passion for sewing was stitched into me early (thanks to my mom, an avid quilter!) and further shaped by my career as a costume designer.

My fabric designs are playful and lighthearted, inspired by simple everyday objects and adorable characters that spark joy. I gravitate toward bright hues, soft pastels, and whimsical patterns, because sewing should be fun and every project should make you smile!

View the Surface Design Page for a sample of my designs.
