I started to sew when I was a child. My mother and my grandmother would give me scraps of fabric, needles and thread. Once I learned to thread a sewing machine, I overcame the fear of sewing through my fingers (our family has a history, you see) and today I make items for my little shop, BuffaloNerdProject. I love reusing castoffs to make something new, and I also love infusing a little bit of nerdiness into what I do.
