Hi, I'm Becky, the owner of Stitches in the Fishbowl, LLC in beautiful Colfax, Washington.
My
love for sewing started early on our family wheat and cattle ranch in
Eastern Washington. As the oldest of seven children, I'd sneak scraps
from the trash while my siblings napped and teach myself to make doll
clothes on my mom's sewing machine. At just seven years old, I boldly
chose a "too-hard" pattern at JC Penney's with darts, facings, and a
zipper. With my mom's reluctant blessing and plenty of frustrated tears,
I spent months making my first sleeveless top - and proudly wore it
until it no longer fit. I was hooked for life.
I sewed mountains of
Barbie clothes and most of my own outfits through junior high and high
school, plus clothes for my sisters. My older cousin, the Home Ec
teacher, was always encouraging my growing skills. I even took my sewing
machine with me to nursing school.
