About
Hi everyone,
I am Alena Sharenda. I was born and grew up in Vitebsk, Belarus. Vitebsk is a city of artists and crafters in a small country located in the center of Europe. I was a creative child; I loved to draw and create handmade projects. My grandmother sewed and embroidered well, and I loved to watch how she did it. In 1999, I graduated from Vitebsk College and became a tailor. Later I graduated from law school. By that time, I was married and had my first son. I became a lawyer. In 2010, our second son was born. While on maternity leave, I surfed the Internet and found a picture of a rag doll. From that day on, I was into sewing toys and other things. I did it at night since I had errands to run, did many household chores, and took care of our baby during the day. I was so into sewing that I did sewing projects every day. I was excited to give handmade creations to my family and friends. After several years of practice, my hobby turned into a small business. I quit my job and started a blog on the Internet. I made and sold my sewing projects, participated in exhibitions and fairs. My customer base increased, and my business grew. In 2016, my family and I moved to the United States. It was a challenge to start everything from scratch in a new country.
Later, I opened the children’s creative studio, where I teach children to sew, iron, identify fabrics, create dolls and other cute handmade things. I decided to grow my sewing business in the United States. I love to create handmade items for my customers to decorate their homes. I’m excited when they are happy with the purchase made in my store. My dream is to have a cozy store of handmade items. In the meantime, I invite you to visit my store on Facebook and Instagram page. Hope you enjoy it. If you find any items you like, please feel free to ask me about these products.
