A little bit about Stephanie:
Hi! I’m Stephanie Baiotto!  I am married with 2 boys and a lifelong seamstress.  My sewing journey began quite young as I grew up with my grandmother creating dresses and matching hats by drafting patterns from newspaper.  She was a self taught sewist mastering her skill by working long night shifts in the garment factories in PA.  

As a teen, I began my sewing path learning the basics in home economics class. I sewed constantly at home and throughout my high school years doing independent sewing classes with my teacher.  I took the plunge and studied clothing and textile design in college.  I began my studies at a private design school in Atlanta then 2 major universities (Auburn University and Virginia Tech), receiving  my Bachelor of Science in Clothing and Textile Design.  

I continued my love of sewing and creating over the years through floral design, costume design, merchandising, interior design and upholstery to most recently, creating a wedding dress for my daughter in law.  

I love the art of sewing and want to share my knowledge with those eager to learn. 

Just remember-sewing is a journey and each path unfolds something new!
