About Me

I’m Sam, which is short for Samantha, and I am a Mechanical Engineering major at Case Western Reserve University in the class of 2012. I am sole proprietor of my sewing business, Fluffyland, a shop filled with handmade cuteness. I am a devout Catholic and politically I am quite conservative. My home is in Northern Virginia, but I’ve adopted Cleveland as my second home despite its terrible weather and consistently gray skies. I have two younger brothers and a dog named Pepper. I love my freckles.

When I’m not buried in homework or socializing, I’m usually sewing, because that is what I love to do (see The Sewing Story). I also love fabric shopping and thrifting (which can be rather equivalent, since I usually thrift in order to find garments I can re-create), but I hate shopping at the mall. I’ve been a soccer player my whole life, and though I’m not on a college team, I’m always up for a pickup game. I love playing cards, especially euchre and spades, and I passionately hate Monopoly. I can knit straight lines, so I usually have a scarf going while I watch TV (the Office!) but that’s really all I’ve learned in the fiber arts realm.

I love baking and inventing new food combinations, especially anything involving coconut. At school we take over the kitchen rather frequently and it’s great fun.
