Made with love in Eatonville, Washington.
Hello Everyone!
I am Rachel. Owner, maker, designer, basically everyone here at Threadpool Designs. My little business here is a 1 woman show. I am a wife and Mom of 2 amazing kids. 1 boy and 1 girl!
When I found out I was pregnant with my daughter 10 years ago I was ecstatic to say the least. I instantly started searching for everything girly. With her being my 2nd, I had gone through this before, but with a girl it’s just different. After searching for what felt like forever, I found THE bedding set I had to have for her. I looked at the price and my jaw dropped (I know now why this woman charged so much for her beautiful work, I just was not in the position to afford this at the time). So, I said, “I can make this and save myself some money!” and so I did. I bought a sewing machine and all the fabric I needed. Found patterns and taught myself to sew.
It wasn’t perfect by any means, but it was made from love and guess what? My daughter still sleeps with her blanket almost 10 years later! Little did I know this was only the beginning of my journey. I have always been a crafter. But it was more of scrapbooks, card making, crocheting, simple things. A way to help keep my anxiety in check. Keep my brain busy! As I got older and had babies of my own, I learned that a whole new kind of anxiety comes with having kids!
Over the years I have sewn, embroidered, and screen printed. I have dabbled in making jewelry and baking. I have settled on a handful of things that I just love. I sew lots of different things. I make tumblers. I use my Glowforge to design, cut, and engrave items. I even sell a lot of my items to a local boutique! My Cricut comes in handy for all these things. It is literally the item that gets used the most in my office! No matter how busy I get, (which can be quite overwhelming beings that it’s only me here) I always make time for my family.
On another note, I am a Marvel nerd. I have seen every movie. I drag my husband to the theatres, but my kids go willingly! My whole office is decked out in Marvel decor. Heck, my whole left arm is covered in Marvel tattoos! Deadpool is my favorite character. Hence the name, Threadpool Designs! I have 2 doggies and a kitty at home. We have a yellow lab named Oz, who is my husbands hunting dog. My big ole baby is Bucky. Short for James Buchanon Barnes. He is a Greater Swiss Mountain Dog, and he is literally the best dog ever. Now our kitty, her name is Gamora. She is fat and sassy and loves life!
I wouldn’t change anything that got me to where I am today, and I am thankful to everyone who has helped along the way. I am learning new things every day and I would love to share them with all of you!
Thank you so much for supporting my small 1 Mom shop. I love you 3000.
Rachel
