This week's Boutique of the Week is Bumble Monkey!
Let's talk to Elizabeth from Bumble Monkey to learn more about her..
I am a stay at home mother of three, ages 6, 5, and 2-we
lovingly refer to them as Monkey, Bee and Baby Bear. I learned to sew at a very
young age but have only recently taken the time to develop my skills into a
business. When I was young, my grandmother owned a fabric shop and I spent a
good bit of my time there. My grandmother, mother and aunt are all amazing
seamstresses and crafters and I will always cherish the time they spent
teaching me. They all continue to support and teach me new things today. I have sewn for family and friends as well as
my own children for as long as I can remember. I have two very dear friends who
have let me sew for their girls over the years also. They both kept encouraging
me to open a business and sew for others. With support and encouragement from
family and friends, I finally took the plunge in September of last year and
created BumbleMonkey. This has been an amazing first year of business with lots
of ups and downs and lots of learning. My first job is still mommy to my three
precious babies, but I love sewing and crafting and I look forward to growing
BumbleMonkey even more.
My sewing world: In my dreams, all my fabric, supplies and
projects are neatly folded, color coded, organized and stored on beautiful
white shelves lined with amazing fabric bins….not really the case in real life!
We recently moved. In our old house, I took over the dining room but in our new
house, I actually have my own sewing studio! My dad built me a craft and cutting
table and I have lots of shelves…not enough to hold my ever growing stash of
fabric, but I’ll keep adding more! I work in organized chaos…only I know what
all the piles mean! The kids keep me super busy, so I sew when there is down
time. This usually means early mornings, late nights and every once in awhile,
a nap time if baby bear cooperates!
My favorite tool: rotary cutter. I just recently got my
first one and it has changed my life!
My guilty pleasure: Christmas fabric! Mr. BumbleMonkey has
banned me from buying more Christmas fabric. I love it! I cannot pass it up!
You would not believe the shelves and shelves of Christmas fabric that I
have. If I could sew and sell Christmas
outfits all year round, I would!
Special Thanks for a wonderful first year~ Mr. BumbleMonkey,
Noni, Tarah & Shelly!!
