Sue Kim, Veronica Yang

Sue Kim lives in Manitoba with her three lovely children and husband. You can find her latest designs on her website, ithinksew.com. She started sewing when she was ten and has always had a passion for crafts. Originally she earned a master’s degree in ancient Asian literature. However, she kept sewing and designing as a hobby until she was asked to be a sewing instructor at a Jo-Ann fabric store. That expanded into requests to teach in several quilt shops, which led to her starting her own pattern business. Her first patterns were for small bags and clutches. Now, most of the patterns Sue sells are downloadable PDF patterns. She always has countless ideas; her sketchbook is never empty!
