About MeHey, I'm Francesca!
I first learned to sew (a straight line, exclusively) and knit (rectangles) in middle school, circa 2005. I continued to knit through high school and college, but started learning more advanced techniques in 2018. After a long hiatus, I was reunited with my sewing machine in 2019. I re-entered the hobby through gear-making, and have been crafting a handmade wardrobe since late 2020. I have a real affinity for comfy clothes (secret pajamas) and all the colors! When I'm not sewing, I hike, fish, backpack and XC ski in the Uinta & Wasatch mountains; teach middle school math, am working towards my doctorate, and play boardgames with my partner. I'm originally from Los Angeles, CA and have lived all over the U.S. & am currently putting down roots in Salt Lake City, UT. My measurements are: Height: 5'3" Upper Bust: 31" Full Bust: 32" Waist: 26-28"* Hip: 36-37"* *my waist and hip measurements fluctuate, check individual posts for most recent measurements.
