January - Suzanna Marosi McKeon
After sewing clothes throughout high school, college, and her early days as a teacher, Suzanna put aside her sewing machine for several years while caring for her very young children.
Making space for her creative side was important, however, Suzanna's passion for sewing reignited through an upholstery course she took at a local community college. She jumped into bag making, attracted to designing something both beautiful and practical, without the need for all the alteration my clothes sewing had required.
Suzanna began selling the bags she designed on Etsy in 2011. In 2013, a fellow sewist asked if she would consider making a pattern for one of her bag designs. Suzanna gave it a go and has been creating digital sewing patterns for bag making ever since, as Hold It Right There Patterns. As a former educator, Suzanna broke down her patterns into bite-size steps with lots of photos to accompany each step. In 2020, Suzanna began creating detailed video tutorials to walk through each pattern step.
Suzanna's passion is to facilitate creativity, offering her sewing patterns as blank templates for the completely unique creative expressions of each maker.
