Making Memories Last
How one local mom helps others keep their memories alive

BEAUFORT, SC, October 11, 2018-- Stephanie Grams, an Ohio native relocated to Beaufort, South Carolina with her family and brought her 35 years of sewing experience with her. Grams’ offers custom, affordable sentimental sewing services and is available to teach small groups how to sew.

Stephanie grew up fascinated while she watched her mother and grandmother sew. One day while 'underfoot' Stephanie's grandmother handed her some fabric scraps, needle, and thread with a 5-minute hand sewing instruction lesson on how to sew Suffolk puffs (also known as yo-yo's). Stephanie hasn't put the needle down ever since that day.

Stephanie's passion led her to become a sole owner and operator of her own sewing business. She has participated in several events with her talent including church events, 4-H, Girl Scouts, Homeschooling groups and events with the performing arts center in her native town of New Philadelphia, Ohio. Today Stephanie offers beginners sewing lessons and sells her folk art and primitive creations online while offering memory bear sewing services to bereaved individuals.

“Our sentimental sewing services are for those who wish to preserve their favorite pieces of clothing from collected over the years. Additionally, we are experienced in handling worn and dated fabrics that were once worn by your loved ones.” Grams says, “We are excited to announce that we offer three popular sentimental, memory product lines, which include:”

  • Memory Bears
  • Memory Pillows and Pillowcases
  • T-shirt and/or Clothing Blankets


My Sewing Needle, owned and operated by Stephanie Grams, offers sentimental and memory sewing services and is available for ‘learn to sew’ classes and workshops. Contact Stephanie Grams via her website, e-mail, or business phone. ##

Welcome

*ORDER YOUR EASTER 'BEARS' BY FEBRUARY 16, 2018*

VALENTINE'S DAY ORDERS ARE NOW CLOSED! 

 

Welcome! I am so glad you are here!

This page is dedicated to helping you navigate my website and get to know more about myself (Stephanie Grams) and why I offer these sewing services. My online sewing studio is hosted right here, at MySewingNeedle.com and I often share stories of my memory bear customers.

I do hope you will stick around and introduce yourself and share your story! My sewing services take your favorite, most treasured pieces of clothing and create a family heirloom (or often referred to as Memory or Keepsake items). I think it's important to share with you that each item I make is handmade by myself and I take pride in my work. I also would like to remind you that these items are not meant to be used as toys, as they are to be seen as a 'one of a kind' item; after all, you are taking lovingly used clothing and creating a precious item to remember your loved one. Therefore, I can not be held responsible for mishandling or misuse of your created memory once it arrives at your door. 

I am always available to answer your questions, prior to ordering, so please email me directly! Let's get acquainted! Click the titles below to be taken to that specific page :)
