About the Author

"Simple Simon and Company is comprised of two girls who married brothers and ended up with the exact same name: Elizabeth Evans. Elizabeth and Liz (as they call themselves) are both the same age, have the same number of children (one two girls and a boy, one two boys and a girl), are both former schoolteachers, and share a love for sewing. Several years ago they tried an experiment...to see if they could make a new project everyday for 30 days and post about it on a blog....and before they knew what was happening they had created a sewing community at Simple Simon and Company that they had fallen in love with. Elizabeth and Liz sew everyday and love to share their enthusiasm for sewing with anyone who will listen. Even though they come from differing backgrounds (Elizabeth grew up sewing and Liz was kicked out of her junior high sewing class), they make a great team. Each of them bring their own strengths and creative energy to the table and between their various experiences, they truly believe that anyone can sew. "
