My name is Natalie, I am the owner of the Elizabeth Ludden brand.  I chose the name Elizabeth Ludden as a shout-out to my mother and all the creative women in my family.

I started sewing when I was four.  As a child I had a goal for myself that someday I could take whatever outfit I dreamt up, put it down on paper in pattern form and make beautiful  custom clothes for myself.  I have achieved that goal and now want to teach others the joy of making custom clothes!

I spend my days homeschooling my children, sewing clothes with and for  my family and myself, and fixing up our home.

What You Will Find at Elizabeth Ludden:

At Elizabeth Ludden you will find practical solutions for sewing large quantities of clothes so that you can achieve your wardrobe-sewing goals!  Head over to the Sewing Encyclopedia page for tutorials on sewing basics.

I will also throw in the occasional homeschool or home improvement project posts. But my focus is sewing so I will do my best to stay on topic.

(So many creative things, so little time!)

Coming soon:

I am working on digitizing my patterns so that you can sew what you see here at Elizabeth Ludden.

I also have some big ideas to change the way patterns and off-the-rack clothing are sized. My goal for the project is to make patterns and off-the-rack clothes fit REAL women.  If you want to help me achieve this goal grab a tape measure and head over to my survey.  The more data from REAL women the better I will be able to develop this system.

Thanks for stopping by and happy sewing!
