FAQ about Grandma
Are you real or a made up character?
I assure you I'm a real person. Rae is my real name. This site represents who I am and my talents.

Are you really a Grandmother?
YES! I've got 6 grandchildren - 4 boys and 2 girls. Some are in New Jersey where I live and some are in Texas.

Do you really make this stuff?
YES! ALL WORK is custom, made to order. I enjoy sewing, both hand and machine sewing. Nothing makes me happier than creating something for someone. I don't job out my sewing work. When you send me your email request, I'm the one making whatever you requested. And I am a busy bee! Tour my Sewing Room

Exceptions: My friend Lynn makes the hankie gifts. My husband makes the stained glass pieces and my friend Clare does the embroidery work.

I found this cute fabric. Will you make me a cat?
Of course! If you have found a fabric in the store that you just love, I'd be happy to use it to make you a cat, or a Tea Wallet or an apron or whatever you'd like.

I like "X" but will you make it bigger, smaller, taller, wider, with a pocket, without a pocket.....?
YES! I'm happy to make any changes. Or I will create something special for you.

I was wondering... Can you make me something like this?
If you don't see it, ask me anyway. I would love to sew it for you! Take a look at Teapot Gift Bags and at Whimsical Stationary & Encouragement Cards. From ideas. Mini-Pot Holders came by request. And I wouldn't be making aprons except that somebody asked me. So ask. I'll say "Yes."

And speaking of asking.
If you have a question about sewing something in general...I'd love to help you out if I can. Take a look at Melissa's question
Why don't you have a Shopping Cart?
Actually it's a long boring story. The short version is my products aren't "cookie cutter" - they are custom made with infinite variations. The good news is - I accept credit cards. When you've figured out what you'd like to buy, send me an email with your phone number. I will call you and take your credit info.


Where is your store?
I don't have a "Bricks & Mortar" store. I am online ONLY. You can purchase my products online or at any of the stores listed.

Do you have a catalog?
I have a brochure that highlights some of my products. But the best way to see ALL of my products is to grab a cup of tea and browse my full product line.

How long have you been in business?
I was in business long before I was online. My business began in 2002. My online store began in 2007.

I like XYZ fabric. Will you sell it to me?
I'm not a fabric store. I use my fabrics to make things for others. If you absolutely, positively can't find the fabric anywhere else I'll sell you some. Just as long as it won't 'clean me out' of that fabric.


In case you are wondering... I purchase a limited amount of each fabric so that I won't be sewing on the same fabric until my eyes cross with boredom and you won't see your tea cozy on everyone else's table.

What if I don't like what I bought?
In the unlikely case that you are not pleased with your purchase, as long as it is a stock item made with my fabric, you may return it within 30 days.
