Hi! My name is Carly Sabins. I am a stay at home mother of two beautiful daughters, Tess& Riley. I have an awesome husband named Ben. We have been married for 11 years.  I have three black Miniature Schnauzers, Hansel, Heidi, and Fritz.  I live in the small town of Bryan, Ohio.  Let me tell you how I got started sewing.  My Grandmother taught me to sew when I was 7 years old. She was so patient! God Love her! After I got married my husband bought me my first sewing machine.  I began making my own curtains and slipcovers for my furniture.  After my daughters were born I started making clothes for them.  One of the first items I made were tiny flower girl dresses for each of my daughters.  I made them out of satin and since I could not read a traditional pattern I had to create my own pattern.  It was pretty tricky!  Let's just say through a few tears, (mine and my daughters), much blood, (mine), and a lot of sweat (did I mention it was my brothers wedding?), the dresses turned out great.  After that I began to make quilts.  My first quilt I made I gave to my Grandmother.  It was a nice way for me to thank her for patiently teaching me to sew! Quilting is what started my fabric hoarding insanity!  If I liked it, I bought it!  I still make quilts but I like to tinker with new projects.  A few years ago I took a purse making class at a local fabric shop.  It was so much fun!  I love to combine different fabrics and textures.  This led to me make purses for most of my family.  In the Spring of 2007, I went purse shopping for something to match some of my new clothes and I could not find anything that I liked or was my style.  So, I bought more fabric and made a few purses of my own.  I showed them to my family and a few friends and they loved them!  So...I made some more!  So, I am a purse junkie now!  I HAVE to keep making them!  And since I cannot possibly carry all the ones that I design, I have no choice but to share them with the world.  I am having so much fun creating my own patterns and letting the fabric tell me which pattern it should be!  I hope to keep creating purses as long as I can!  I have created over 25 different styles now! I am always dreaming of more!
