The enthusiasm of the co-founders of Scarlet Stitch
for sewing began as young girls. Tammy's first marked
interest in apparel construction was in her cutting up one
of her sister's Sunday dresses to use the material for doll
clothes. Tammy does not remember this, but her sisters
verify. Jody's interest in designing began less conspicuously
with two well-placed "arm holes" in a tube sock, which
began her new line of posh Barbie wear, and later, with
creating patterns made of paper bags for use on scraps of
old cloth. Their young attempts at garment construction
were followed by a growing interest and enjoyment in
patchwork quilting.
In 2006, by combining the creativity and timelessness of
patchwork quilts with baby fashions, Tammy and Jody
made their first patchwork dresses. Never having thought
they could be successful at having their own business, they
were astounded at the interest and success they found in
their first endeavor to sell their dresses - on a blog!
Customers loved the nostalgic style of their garments. This
experience encouraged them to continue branching out
beyond baby dresses and bloomers to introduce girls sizes
up to five years, and a boys line as well, with the same
nostalgic style.
They express their thanks to all of those who have shown
an interest in Scarlet Stitch's progress, and their thankfulness
to God who continues to bless their endeavors.
Amanda Price (sister to Tammy and Jody) is credited with
the beautiful photography displayed on ScarletStitch.com
and her beautiful children grace the photos.
In November of 2008, Scarlet Stitch was blessed with the
addition of two new creative members: Jill Buie and Crystal
Carr. Both will enjoy sewing, as well as other duties, such as
website management, bookkeeping, shipping and advertising.
We look forward to serving you better as we utilize more
able hands to do so!
