Hi I’m Jen from Parker on the Porch. I started my stitching journey by way of the paper crafts industry roughly 8 years ago.  I’ve always been a crafty and creative person and was taught to sew and hand embroider at a young age.  After the birth of my daughter I was interested in the shift to PDF patterns in sewing, so I taught myself how to construct clothing and I was hooked.   

One of my first projects was with my most favorite Michael Miller fabric line, Out to Sea. It still is one of my most favorite dresses ever! The dress pattern is the Petite Fille by Puperita and this photo is featured there after all these years. 

In the fall of 2014 I ran across projects using an embroidery machine.  Specifically putting holiday designs on dresses.  I bought my first embroidery machine and away I went.  It didn’t take long for me to start creating my own designs. In 2015 I launched my own website to sell the designs I was creating as a small side hustle.  In 2019 I left my corporate job of 24 years to design full time. 

I enjoy creating a wide variety of projects.  From bright and cute kids designs to date night bags and home decor projects. 

  

In the past couple years I have branched out from teaching machine embroidery online to in person classes.  I have the absolute best time teaching and hanging out with a bunch of crazy crafty people! This also includes my daughter! She loves to sew and has enjoying setting up for classes as well as taking them herself. 

   

 

When I am not designing you can find me creating sewing projects, paper crafts, home decor projects and traveling. I am thrilled to join the Michael Miller team and cannot wait to share my projects with you.
