Hi there! And welcome to The Lilac Needle. My name is Bri and I have been sewing for the last 5 or so years starting in the city of Rochester NH, the lilac city which is where the inspiration for my store name came from.
Initially I was working primarily with cotton but have also worked with garment fabrics and lately have found a new love of working with cork and faux leather. While I currently am making mostly bags, wallets and accessories, I also still like to sew clothing and heat packs which is why I would consider myself more of a variety sewist.
I am originally from Maine but have settled in the Granite state of New Hampshire with my husband and three kitties. Crafting has always been a part of my identity but once I found sewing I knew I found my place and my favorite hobby.
