Sara Beth’s Bio

Growing up, I loved getting dressed. In my sophomore year of high school, I didn’t repeat a single outfit—not once. That’s when I began playing with clothes: cutting, resizing, adding lace to thrifted pieces. There were no rules, just creativity.

After college, I found myself working on vegetable farms, but I missed the creative spark that clothing and sewing brought me. So I dedicated my first winter off to making. I mended clothes for friends, sewed curtains, stitched by hand, and sharpened my knitting skills. I even started making my own garments using old clothes as patterns.

In the winter of 2022, my husband and I settled into our old farmhouse. I finally had a whole room just for making—and I realized: this could be my work.
