My journey into the world of crafting began in late 2023 when I first picked up knitting needles. Almost immediately, I was drawn into the rhythm of the craft, and it wasn’t long before I ventured into crochet.
For my very first crocheted bag, I decided to add a personal touch by sewing a liner by hand. It was a labor of love—but also one of frustration. Hand stitching was painstakingly slow, and as I soon discovered, it didn’t hold up well to the demands of daily use.
Determined to improve my creations, I invested in a sewing machine in April 2024. My first project with it was relining that same crocheted bag, giving it a much sturdier, longer-lasting finish. From there, I began sewing simple tote bags to hone my skills, but I quickly felt the urge to take on something more challenging.
That’s when I found a pattern for a purse called the “Diorz”—a mock style inspired by the iconic designs of high fashion. Creating that purse sparked something within me. I discovered a deep passion for making bags, blending my love of crochet, knitting, and sewing into unique, handcrafted pieces.
Since then, I’ve been fully immersed in designing and creating bags that are not only beautiful but built to last. I continue to explore new techniques, patterns, and materials, always striving to perfect my craft.
My journey into stained glass art began in late 2019. Since then, I’ve developed a passion for creating intricate designs, experimenting with different techniques and colors, and bringing light and art together in unique ways.
