Hi, I’m Ms. Van den Boom.
I make clothes, bags, accessories, and quilts by hand in Austin, for myself, my family, and the pure joy of it. Every so often, a piece is for sale. Here’s what’s come off my machine lately.

About
I come from a long line of seamstresses, but I didn’t learn to sew.
At some point I bought a basic sewing machine so I could hem my own pants. Then, daunted, I let it sit in its box for over a year. One day my mom said, “I’ve had enough. Take that thing out. I’m teaching you to sew.”
Once I realized the skill of sewing gave me the freedom to make anything I could envision, I was hooked. Sewing is my happy place, my intellectual challenge, my meditation, and the creative love of my life.
