Kristi Borchardt

Kristi learned to sew right along with her daughters. The girls were age 3 and 6, at the time! Because it was such an enjoyable experience she wants to encourage others to pursue this endeavor. Kristi experienced the woes of feeling very ignorant just trying to read a pattern and was discouraged from trying to teach her girls on her own. After receiving a new sewing machine from her husband for her birthday, she became bound and determined to fulfill her desire to learn to sew. Kristi's plan was to learn everything before she tried to teach her kids. But as she was learning, her girls caught her enthusiasm and in amazement she watched them flourish in learning to sew right along with her. Kristi says that, quite honestly, because we knew nothing I experienced a real freedom in my own education. At age 8 yrs. old, her younger daughter could sew her own dresses, and by 11 yrs. old, her older daugher developed a passion for sewing, and was a better seamstress than herself. What Kristi wants to do, is share her journey in sewing; to help others know (with hind sight being 20/20) that the best way to learn is by doing. She has been sharing with friends and family their way of learning to sew, as well as, the projects and patterns that built their skills. She has seen it not only work for others, but truly bring a delight into the sewing experience.
