Bring Sewing Manufacturing Back to USA

AmericanMadeLabels

As a lover of all things sewing and textiles and maker of quilted accessories, I can’t help but complain that there are not enough people who can sew well.  There are a lot of makers and designers of single products but not those who can actually reproduce them.  Anyone can make one unit of something but can you do it again and again and still keep the consistency.  It’s like that magical dish you made and then you can’t seem to redo it again.

Well, I want to bring the strength of our designers and the ability to have an artisan hand to replicate here in the USA.  I’d love to see America flourish again with pride of owning American Made products because they care about where things are made and really believe and live that lifestyle.
