Handmade Store: Cyndi

Sewing Since 1980...Reconstructing Since 2007

Each piece of clothing in my shop is a one-of-a-kind; stitched with complete attention to detail and strength. I welcome custom orders for halters or hoodies. If you have a T-shirt that has seen better days but still has a good picture, I can recycle it into a halter or hoodie. Just contact me and we can go through the details.

A little background: I'm a happily married mother of two little ones 18 months apart. I have Crohn's Disease, so between being a mom, homemaker and the sewing, it's just the right amount of stress. I started selling my stuff for two reasons: 1) because I enjoy it and 2) to generate some extra income. I also hope to someday keep my grandmother's memory alive by teaching my kids to sew and craft.

Other hobbies that I enjoy are model trains (with the family), target and trap shooting (with the hubby and friends), reading, watching movies, and just general crafting. I also enjoy meeting one of my good friends for coffee as often as our two schedules allow, which, unfortunately, isn't all that often.

Although I have been sewing for as long as I can remember, I have only been selling my creations for about six months. I came from a family where my grandmother taught my mom and then me how to sew, do needlepoint, knit, crochet, etc. I stumbled across a market for reconstructed clothing items and thought, "Hey, I can do that!" Made a couple of items for myself and the rest, I put up for sale. The rest, as they say, is history!

So, with my two little ones playing with scraps of material (and all my pins...can't find them!), I sew while I'm home. The biggest compliment that I received is that my husband asked me to make him a hoodie (which I'll be sewing a few of them, too). He's a perfectionist so I take that as the highest compliment!
