These are my girls, Tasha and Laura. I had so much fun teaching them how to sew. Now, both of them have their own machines, but they always manage to come around at just about the right time - that is - when my newest fabric stash arrives in the mail :) Look how messy our sewing area was during the holidays...oh well sometimes, no clutter, no fun eh? Here are some pictures of them with their first finished purses. I'm so proud of them, they did a wonderful job...look at those smiles!
This is Laura, she is currently working on her first quilt and has sewn many purses since this one (and she's only been sewing for about two months!). This one she donated, along with a matching wallet and key fob, to a silent auction fundraiser at our local hospital where she works as an x-ray technician. She's even sold some of her bags to friends and co-workers and I think every woman in her family received one at Christmastime. Yup...she's definitely caught the fabric bug!
This is Tasha and her first purse was a tote that she made as a Christmas present for her mommy. (By the way, she loved it!) Since then, she is working on Amy Butler's Sophia pattern for a friend and I suspect that her two little dachshund doggies, Roxy and Moosie, will be getting new clothes sometime soon!
I found it really difficult choosing a name for my new business. Your name says so much about you and I wanted mine to be catchy and easy to remember, but I also wanted it to reflect what was important to me in life, after all, it was going to be my very own adventure, one that I create and have full control over. I started thinking about what inspired me in life and without a doubt, it has to be my three sons. I took the first two letters from each of their names and arranged them in birth order and came up with the name Majomi. So, MAtthew, JOshua, and MIchael, I hope I inspire you to reach for your dreams as much as you have me.
