About the Author
Virginia Lindsay's first sewing experience was as a teenager when she made an ill fitting polyester dress back in 1989. Her mom was so excited for her to begin sewing that she bought her a new solid (but not fancy!) sewing machine. It took 15 years for Virginia to use that sewing machine again, but once she started, she fell in hooked.Virginia loved all the new fresh fabric designs and the endless inspiration online. This was a community that she knew she wanted to join! She started her blog, Gingercake, and joined Etsy in 2009. Although she loves to sew unique handmade items, her real passion is designing simple, cute and useful sewing patterns. Virginia has a variety of PDF sewing patterns available on her website, gingercake.bigcartel.com. She has been feautured on many popular sewing blogs and has had her patterns published by Simplicity. Virginia is the mother of 4 children and her sewing projects are inspired by kids and families. When she is not sewing, you will find her gardening. talking hikes, driving to soccer practice and piano lessons and throwing ball in the yard. Friends often call her Virginia "Martha Sewart" Lindsay (which she takes as a HUGE compliment!) but let it be known here and now- Virginia hates to cook, clean and organize. She does love to spend time with family and friends and LOVES to chat with other sewers. So feel free to get in touch...
