My name is Tina and I am lucky enough to live an interesting life. My husband does safety inspections on amusement rides, so we travel all over the country full time in our RV. We get home to Seattle or Texas to visit our grown kids, but for most of the year we are traveling from amusement parks to state fairs… to little tiny traveling shows. Sometimes I work at the fairs, but mostly I sell my Sewing Patterns online. I love doing it, both the treasure hunt of finding them and the fun of matching them up with folks who want exactly that right pattern. I have over 6,000 patterns listed and ship worldwide.Come see What-I-Found!
