Elaine Schmidt

Hi, I’m Elaine Schmidt, a hands-on designer creating fun projects with fabric, ribbon, needle and thread. I develop new product lines for creative industry manufacturers and work with them to inspire their consumers and promote innovative uses for their products. I offer my clients a full range of creative services, working with them from product design and development, through sourcing and project management, to marketing and promotions.

I’m a fabric addict, ribbon hoarder, button and bead collector, yarn and thread junkie, and sewing geek who grew up “always making something.” Brought up learning proper traditional techniques by my Mom, I now enjoy bending the old-school rules a bit and “coloring outside the lines.” Never happy to do one thing at a time, I always have several projects going on. It’s a real thrill for me to see a finished project arise from a pile of materials to become something useful and unique or just plain fun to make.
