About Staci Wendland

Staci Wendland

Staci Wendland has been a maker for as long as she can remember. Her first memory of sewing was on her grandmother's quilt when she was three years old. It's been a tumultuous relationship ever since, full of victories and losses. If there's a craft or sewing technique she hasn't tried, it's probably on her to-do list.

At her blog, Crafty Staci, she creates beginner-friendly craft and sewing tutorials. She finds that people who haven't tried it before are often hesitant to take that first step into making things. Staci's goal is to guide and inspire readers to jump in and not be afraid to make mistakes along the way. She hopes to encourage others to create and keep handmade alive and well.

When she's not on her blog, you'll find her at her shop, where she focuses on sewing patterns for beginning to intermediate makers.

You can shop more of Staci's patterns on her Etsy store. Follow her on Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest!
