I'm Chelsea Cruz and I like to sew. Give me a sewing machine and some fabric and I'll be happy for hours. I can't imagine anything better than spending my day alone in my sewing room, stitching away at my latest project. And I don't even care if I make anything gorgeous; it's all about the process for me. One of my favorite things to do is to take a poem from my favorite author and then stitch it on a dress. I put my own spin on the poem, and it's one of my favorite creative projects.
