Introducing Our Newest Blog Contributor: Martina

Hello, AGF friends!


So pumped to be part of this amazing creative blog and get to know everyone. My name is Martina and I just recently joined the AGF Marketing team. I’m incredibly excited to start sharing photos and talking with you all on social media.

Before I go ahead and tell you more about myself, I feel like I need to add a little disclaimer first. I haven’t touched a sewing machine in a really (really, really, REALLY) long time, so I am nervously anxious to see what my DIY projects will turn out to be. Phew, now that that’s out of the way I can tell you all a little about myself. I started off as a fashion design student, and yes that’s exactly where the small interaction with the sewing machine happened, but then realized I was more into textile design and quickly changed majors. From there on came marketing and merchandising… and here I am today, getting a little of both worlds. I can't wait to combine all my skills to make awesome content for all the platforms!

Working here, collaborating with the smartest gals in marketing and still be surrounded by beautiful fabrics and talented designers makes my heart warm and definitely inspires me to call my old sewing machine up and maybe get back together? Who knows! What I do know is that I am definitely intrigued now… my Pinterest boards are growing like crazy with ideas, so I hope you have patience with me as I wake up an old sleeping hobby of mine.

I still haven’t settled on exactly what to make as my first sewing project at AGF (please send me ideas!!) but I can assure you, it will be colorful. Maybe I’ll do something for the home since I am moving into a new place and want to learn how to make my own pillows and more. 😊

I am looking forward to reading your comments.

 

Talk soon,

 

Martina

    Hi Martina, I am glad to know you. I love AGF ~~ every single thing about AGF makes me happy. Couch pillows are always a fun starter project, or decorative bed pillows.
    I love table runners. They make wonderful gifts. I am so busy all the time (daddy age 93, being a gramma, being a mom, being a wife, be-having, etc. It is good to have lovely projects to give to those I love, and those that put up with me.

    Hi Rosemary! Thanks for the tips :) table runners and pillows are a great idea and a good start as well, definitely keeping them in mind. I hope you have some time to relax and create some project this weekend!

    Hi Martina,
    I vote that you make a colorful poof or floor pillow! It’s on my list of things to make also! Welcome to AGF!

    Hi Martina!! Can’t wait to see what you create. I am sure that your first sewing project (and all to come) are going to be beautiful. Would like to see garments for little boys (I am a momma of a three years old toddler and sometimes is so hard to find lovely sewing projects for them). I love seeing all those tiny dresses and skirts projects out there, but I’d like to sew for him something special too!! (Perhaps fellow boy’s mommas are waiting for projects like these too) ;) thank youuu! ALEXANDRA @alextilalila
