On a sunny Saturday morning in 2019, Cheerful Threads wound their first bobbin and sewed their first stitch!
With a toddler at the time, spare time wasn’t something I was accustomed to but spare time is what I found myself with that day. After seeing some cute sewing projects, and reminding myself that I DID have the important life skill of sewing (thanks to Home Economics of the 80s and 90s!) I used my spare 2 hours that day in the sunbeam at the kitchen table, sewing with a borrowed machine. It turned out that those were 2 of the best hours of my week!
Today, Cheerful Threads is a small business dedicated to making everyday items that I love and I hope others will too. I like to create things that are practical, useful and are fun to sew. These days I make warm fleece baby booties, slippers for kids, and bags everyone can use! More recently, I create Dementia Activity Mats. My mom, who used to cut patterns for me, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease about 6 years ago and this journey is what inspired my newest shop item.
I am married and the mom of one young girl who often becomes a product tester for Cheerful Threads. I sew everything myself and you will find these items in my Etsy shop (see link below).
We are located in Calgary, AB. Thank you for choosing to support a handmade small business and taking an interest in our little shop!
