Hi, I’m Beatriz (Bety), and I’m happy to share the love of sewing! Here is a little bit about myself.

I’m from Mexico, I’m married and have two beautiful cats, Leo and Luna. Yes, small family! Although I come from a big family.

My mom taught me hand sewing and cross-stitching when I was around 10 years old. I was also interested in learning how to use the sewing machine, but it broke the first time I was about to use it! So that was the end of my adventure because we couldn’t afford to fix it.

Years later, I started working in a company where they sell big rolls of quilted fabric. I learned how to use those huge sewing machines and also got a brief introduction to the industrial sewing machine. That’s how I got interested in sewing again!

My boyfriend, who is now my husband, gave me my first sewing machine years ago, and  I started sewing as a hobby, but eventually I discovered that this is what I really feel passionate about, and I want to share my knowledge with others.

I learned by watching YouTube videos, reading sewing blogs, and I also took an intensive sewing course and the Early Riser Fashion Designer course at Rightfully Sewn, located in downtown Missouri, which I highly recommend if you are looking for advanced sewing classes.

In 2018, I started my sewing blog Crear y Coser (in Spanish), where I share my projects and found out how many people want to learn to make their clothes or crafts. I love helping people, and blogging is a great way to do it!

I’m also offering photography sessions with flying dresses that I make myself. This is my business page: Flying Dress Glow.

I wish I had found my passion earlier in life; that’s why I want to help kids learn to sew and discover all the great things they can create with a sewing machine.

Looking forward to having your kid in my sewing studio soon. 🙂
