So this is my first official blog entry.
I'll start with an introduction. I'm Tessa and I sewed in my past. When I got married and moved out of my parents' home, my mother gave me her old sewing machine. I used it a couple times to mend some clothes and then I put it away. I worked and focused on my career and my husband. A few years later I gave birth to a wonderful little boy. I entered in to a new phase in my life. I focused all my time and energy on my little boy and husband. I got the opportunity to retire from my current business in finances and be a full time SAHM. It was wonderful! I became passionate about natural mothering and birth and breastfeeding.
A few months ago I had my second adorable son. I made plans during pregnancy to pull out my old sewing machine to make myself some breast pads (I really wasn't looking forward to those stinky, expensive, disposable ones again). I started talking to my friend and ideas just started compounding. It actually started with functional, comfortable, and sturdy everyday ring slings so Moms could give their babies the closeness and connection they need. Over the last month or so we discussed everything from bibs to blankies to breast pads.
I'm very excited about the next few months. I plan to spend a bit of time each week sewing some things that I think are essential to a new mom and some things that are just plain adorable.
Current project plan: cow blankets for my sons. Minky on one side and satin on the other. C is already super excited for his. Maybe I'll even monogram them! Will post pictures when I'm done.
My ring slings are going to be up for sale soon on Pampered Bumz.
