Creative with any kind of material... My mom taught me to sew at about age 4 - I believe a tube top was my first project! Since then I have crafted with clay, paint, paper, fabric, metal, jewelry, home decor and just about any kind of material I can find.

I hold a degree in Costume Design from UT Austin, and currently design and make original handbags. Looking forward to 2008 as the year I get SUPER crafty!

Look for *annemarie* Handbag Patterns available soon! I am teaching classes based on my patterns to make them sew sew perfect!
