About Sophie
Sophie Grace began designing with beads at the age of two. She quickly graduated from plastic to crystals,seed beads and semi precious stones. She is interested in minerals and had studies her Great Grandpa Leonard’s collection.
At the age of four Sophie Grace turned her attention to fabric and the first design to be fabricated was the result of two flower designs that Sophie color coded instead of coloring. She directed the design, arranged the repeat mode and critiqued the color before the fabric wad printed. Her flowers on green fabric has been used for wall hangings, a pillow, and curtain trim. Sophie was 4 and a half when this design was completed.
For her 5th birthday she received a children’s sewing machine which she is now saving for her sister, Lila. Sophie now works on a Husqvarna Viking Rose.
