about

Rosanna (Rosie) Nevius

The most important information about me personally is that I am a happy wife, a devoted mother, and enamored grandmother who believes that things just don’t happen!

The fun stuff for me is sewing and gardening.

My day job for 27 years was running an alterations shop called Rosie’s Sewing Room. On the side I dabbled in making purses, home decor items, children’s clothing, and skirts (my current whimsy) I market those skirts under the label Rosie’s Whimsy.

Another important aspect of my daily life is writing and editing  The Fabric Shopper. The Fabric Shopper is a site dedicated to fabric and the people who love it. TFS brings you all the latest fabrics, shares links of tutorials by wonderful sewists, explores color trends, and occasionally provides sponsored giveaways

My desire for Rosie’s Whimsy, the blog,  is to share with you …  things my mother taught me, things I think are beautiful, projects I like to make,  friends I have made along the way,  places I love to visit,  shops I love to patronize … all of which, I  hope will  inspire you to do what you love and to love what you do.

Create with me, sew with me, shop with me and talk with me … my email is always open!   rosieswhimsy {at} gmail.com
