Sew Romantic.





Hopeless romantic?


Yes, that would be me!


A pocket in a hand made bag holds love letters that are bundled together with ribbon.


open the drawstring bag to reveal 



a special book made to hold romantic notations and tokens of endearment. 



as you unfold the layers of stitched love 

of interconnected envelopes and pockets

as a love story unfurls~





fluffy lavender filled hearts with terms of endearment sewn onto them.



tokens and baubles are attached to entice.


 as a reminder of the beauty, grace and truth in love ~




 The minute I heard my first love story I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along. 
 Jalal Ad-Din Rumi
