Have you ever picked up some cookies or a muffin at a little bake sale and realized, "Hey, this is fantastic!"? Your taste buds are ecstatic and you wonder why all those things you buy from the grocery store don’t taste quite as scrumptious. There’s just something special about a product, whether a cookie or a tote bag, made by someone’s careful and deliberate hands. That’s the idea behind Bake Sale Designs.

I scour for the best ingredients, from new fabric to rescued materials, to whip up one-of-a-kind and limited edition goodies for you. I love to find vintage fabrics in the form of curtains and dresses and turn them into to something new, useful, and beautiful. No material is out of the question. I can recycle bed sheets and shower curtains into functional things. I individually design and hand-make each item. Whether you’re looking for something more personal than mass-produced fare or you just want to be the only one with a one-of-a-kind item, check out Bake Sale Designs.

Proud to be a member of the Charm City Craft Mafia!

I have been sewing since I was a kid. I’ve picked up some other handicraft skills throughout my life, from photography to ceramics. Sewing and crafting are something "on-the-side" for me. After a day of work behind a computer and in meetings, I’ve found that sitting down and creating a concrete thing can be very satisfying. And it was even better to be able to pass what I made on to family members and friends and see that it was meaningful to them as well. In a consumer-driven society where every big box store has the same products in every town, I think a unique, handmade gift can say a lot. So I started Bake Sale Designs, right now based in Baltimore, Maryland.
