My Story

I learned sewing from my Grandpa. He was my favorite person in the world, and he used to call me “Amanda Panda.” A lot of my best friends call me "Panda” now. He used to cut his sweatshirts into short-sleeves and carefully hem them - he never wanted to be too warm or too cold. And these were perfect. I used to steal them from his room whenever possible! When I moved away from home, he gave me his favorite sweat-shirt. Now that he's passed, I wear it whenever I need a hug from him.

I believe that quality clothing and skilled sewing can last a lifetime, giving hugs to those we care about for years. I love creating fun, thoughtful, embroidered projects that will mean something years from now. I’ve personalized baby onesies, baptism gowns, wedding handkerchiefs, pet portraits - and more! I also try to source my materials in as ethical a way as possible. I use shirts and onesies from brands known for their transparent factories and organic processes, and I source fabric from recyclers keeping fabric out of landfills. I believe we should try to leave the world a better place than we found it, and with as many hugs as possible.

Style & Quality

I believe in making products that do as little harm to this earth and her people as possible. That's why I source responsibly whenever possible. I look for high quality, ethically produced, and sustainably sourced materials on which to embroider.

Quality takes time, and I believe we should pay people for their labor and avoid exploitative practices in the clothing industry. Disposable fashion and bad attitudes do not look good on pandas!
