Welcome to my blog!
My name is Shannon. I’m a Canadian sewing, quilting and stitching blogger living in Montreal, and producing crafty content on The Finished Garment.
When I was a child, back in Vancouver, my grandmother and mother taught me to sew. My first project was a set of finger puppets. I did quite a bit of sewing through high school, and my friends would even pay me to sew things for them.
But then life intervened. I moved to Montreal, completed graduate school, and began a serious career. It wasn’t until I had kids of my own that I started missing the patterns, the trips to the fabric store and the hum of the sewing machine. I now have four teenagers, who sometimes sew with me. I’ve also started quilting, which is a lot more fun than I anticipated. And I’m sewing for myself again.
Thanks for stopping by!
