I would like to share a few words about my journey leading into owning plush stitch.

 

In 2008 I was blessed with my first beautiful child. Life was a huge change but in the most amazing way ever. I had my maternity leave and then tried to go back to work, only a few hours a day nothing  huge. I lasted but a few hours in total, my heart ached the whole time, I missed little girl like I'd never missed anyone before. I had to find another way to be able to earn and spend time with her. So being so strong willed, I did. That same year I switched careers to  become a private nanny. Then the following year I became a childminder, a career path I followed for 8 wonderful years. And within those 8 years I had 3 more amazing children. It was also during  that time I  took up sewing as a hobby. My husband brought me a machine one year as a gift and well, I got the bug! I just made gifts and clothes for my children and close friends to begin with and posted the odd picture on my Facebook or got nice comments when out, and before I knew it people were placing orders! I was taken aback, what a confidence boost and lovely feeling. Years later people were messaging to see if they commission a blanket like the one I had gifted as it had got so many comments and complimented on how well it washed.
