Carla's Victorian Heirlooms creates household items and gift items and individually embellishes each one for a unique finishing touch. As a very young girl, Carla was taught to sew and embroider, working a threaded needle before she could print her full name. Some of the hand tools used in the creations at the studio are heirloom sewing and needlework tools passed down to the artisan from her great grandmother and her grandmother... the very same tools Carla used as a small girl.

Until next time... stay safe, be happy.
