Hi my name is Jane and I am the owner/designer of Not Sew Plain Jane. I started sewing about 6 years ago, but only became serious about it for the past three years. I am the mother of 4 children and although I love them immensely I decided it was time for me to have a personal passion/creative outlet in my life again. I love creating and my passion for designing and sewing continually kept growing so I opened up a successful etsy shop. I also became active in several social media sewing groups online and before I knew it things were growing faster than I could keep up. I now test patterns for several designers, am on a review board for patterns and also sew up sample items for a fabric company. My daughter is my main model and I love getting time with her to go out and do a shoot (even if she rolls her eyes at me and I get a lot of sighs I still know we are bonding and creating memories). I love that with each item I sew I learn new techniques as well as perfect old techniques. Mostly thought I love that I am rediscovering who I am through my love of creating. Here are some recent photos I have done of my daughter of patterns I have tested.
