How it all started!!

Carolyn has always had a passion for creative pursuits and opened Creative Needlecraft to showcase some of her bags. Her friends loved her unique designs but her sewing friends wanted to make them! They persuaded her to duplicate her purse patterns so that they too could make up her designs!! From there her small business was created. An accomplished businesswoman with formal training and a career in the apparel industry Carolyn 'relaxes' by sewing, embroidering, designing and creating unique sewing patterns.

With a talent and eye for color co-ordination Carolyn designs with quality fabrics and accessories. Fabrics that range from faux suede to cotton, wool, velvet, linen and silk are combined in unusual ways to create her one-of-a-kind creations.

Carolyn has designed and made everything from the basics to heirloom quality Christening robes in fine cotton, silks and Irish linen. In demand for custom bridal wear, she has the talent and ability to design and create the gown of your dreams.

Her creations have been featured in 'Teen Prom', 'Stitches' and 'Flair Machine Embroidery & Sewing' magazines and several have won national awards.

Aside from designing and creating sewing patterns Carolyn also teaches. In class students enjoy learning her sewing tips and techniques and no matter what skill level they are at they leave with a completed project!!
