Where are you on your sewing journey?

I don’t know how to sew yet.

Hello, I’m Nicki!

Welcome to The Ruffled Purse!

As the sewist and quilter behind The Ruffled Purse website, my mission is to help women who feel creatively stuck build a maintainable sewing rhythm so they can turn scraps and other fabric into meaningful projects whenever they want.

For much of my adult life, I thought more about sewing than actually doing it. It wasn’t until I actually made the time to sew that I realized how important it is to spend time doing something you love regularly instead of waiting for the elusive “someday.”
