About Michelle

I live in Seattle with my husband, 7-year-old daughter, two cats, and two dogs. I work as a technical writer for a large tech company.

As an adult, I've worn every RTW size from a 10 to a 20, always with a larger size on top. I've been sewing since 2007 and love being able to make things that I actually enjoy wearing, rather than being confined to "Well, I guess it fits" from RTW. Michelle used to blog at: Happily Caffeinated but is currently more active on Instagram: @happily_caffeinated.
