About Stephanie Ohnmacht

At 7, I was given a beat-up sewing machine, scrap fabric, and a license to sew anything I could dream of. Since my sisters on the farm were uncooperative models, I turned my designing skills to the animals and dolls who were soon sporting some of the latest fashion designs. Sewing became my passion, much to the joy of any local fabric store. I fed this passion by competing in 4-H competitions for 10 years during my youth and won many local and state awards in construction and fashion revue.

 

I am currently a successful professional providing marketing and business strategy advice to Fortune 500 companies. I have been seeking a way to marry my professional success with my passion for fashion. My home office desk is a testament to this with the prominent placement of my laptop, sewing machine, and a stack of Vogues and Threads magazines. I try to share my passion by teaching design and construction to my interested friends, even my boyfriend. I sew every chance I get and love the renewal that working on my projects creates in me.
