I am German but have lived in the USA now for 17 years. For 10 years I worked as a CG Painter for a major Animation Studio. 2+ years ago I found Farbenmix patterns and bought my first sewing machine. I quickly fell in love with European patterns and European fabrics and have been sewing ever since. I now have an on-line fabric shop www.buntefabrics.com and am a SAHM to my 3 children :)
