Angela Yosten

As a young girl, Angela was influenced by so many talented people. While her mother taught her how to sew and encouraged all things arts and crafts related, her father taught her how to be independent and figure things out on her own. Even her grandmothers and great-grandmother influenced her with their special talents of knitting, sewing, and art. She has always enjoyed drawing, painting, and designing, however it was not until she had my own children that she was inspired to find her way back into the sewing room and discover her own style.

When she is not working as a web developer, she can most likely be found in her sewing room. She finds it thrilling when she can design something new for one of her children or décor for their home. She is often intrigued by everyday items and loves to explore different ways for how it can translate to fabric. Many of her designs and tutorials can be found on her website (www.angelayosten.com).

Most of all, she enjoys spending time with her family and cherishing every little moment life has to offer. She feels very fortunate to have such a wonderful husband and amazing children who support her obsession to design, and encourage everything that she aspires to do.
