Melissa Mortenson

I've been sewing since I was 12 years old and I have just ventured out into designing my own sewing patterns and writing sewing tutorials the last couple of years. I've been featured on Moda Bake Shop and in the Fresh Fabric Treats book! I'm currently working on the Riley Blake Design Team.

I share my crafty ideas on my blog, www.polkadotchair.com. I love to design purses and hope that you will love my patterns, which you can find at www.fourteenmay.bigcartel.com.
