Thanks for stopping by Sewing Makes Me Happy! My name is Laura Brooks and I'm the one behind the website. To be honest, I can't believe I was able to create my very own website (this is my first one). I'm not "techy" and it was a intimidating to get started.

With that in mind, be gentle on the design aspect of Sewing Makes Me Happy. I hope to grow the blog and make it look prettier, but first and foremost it needs great content.

Sewing has been a huge part of my life. I first started sewing as young girl and have continued throughout my life. I'd be lying if I said sewing wasn't the one thing that keeps me a peace. No matter what's going on around me, sewing has always seem to center me.

I decided to start this blog because I wanted to place to share my sewing experiences. Recently, a close friend of mine reached out to ask the best way to get their grand daughter into sewing. That's when it clicked. Instead of being limited to my close friend, I knew the next step was to take my love of sewing to Internet.
