Sewn by Shanyia

Our story

My story starts out sad, but has a sweet ending. I started sewing in January 2026 after I was handed down my grandma's sewing machine when she passed away. It's the same machine that tailored my middle & high school dance dresses so many years ago (ok maybe not THAT many 😉). I started out testing all kinds of different things, and pretty early on - along came my butterfly wings! 🦋 That's where my love for sewing truly took off. If I can make homemade gifts for everyone in my life, how lucky am I?! Since then, I've just continued testing out new ideas and finding new things I genuinely love to make and want to share with others! My whole goal is to someday drive by and see one of my door bows hanging on a neighbor's house, or see a dog being walked wearing one of my bandanas. I'm so thankful to my grandma for all the years of love she gave that little sewing machine before it was my turn to take over. I feel so lucky to keep it going, and to be able to share a whole lot of cute things along the way 💓🦩
