Handmade Memories by Cathy Stone
... About Cathy Stone ...
I have loved sewing since I was a little girl. I remember my Grandmothers and Mother sewing all the time. All three were beautiful seamstresses adn very gifted in their own specialties. They have always been an inspiration to me.
​
The only thing I ever wanted to do "when I grew up" was to be a wife, Mother, and seamstress. My Dad informed me I couldn't make enough money by doing that, and suggested that I find something else to earn a living. I can remember the disappointment of not being able to fulfill my dream of being a seamstress.
​
I did get part of that dream though. I did become a wife, and then mother of 4 daughters. I sewed when time and money would allow. After the girls grew up and moved away, I purchased a sewing machine and took smocking and heirloom sewing classes and found a new love and passion. After only sewing for little girls most of my life, God challenged me with my first three grandsons. Not to give in, I began to sew traditional little boy outfits for them.
​
After losing my job of 13 years in 2009, I knew that God had finally intervened and gave me the opportunity to make my dream come true. It's time I use the talents He has given me. So, I am now sewing full time for friends, family, and hopefully for you ... my new friends.
​
It it my hope that you allow me to create something special for you and your "Little Ones".
