Melannie Cundiff

Hi, I’m Melannie and I create custom sewing projects with a lot of love and care.

Faith and family are at the heart of everything I do, and I’m passionate about helping others whenever I can.

I’ve always had a passion for sewing and have been blessed to create many memorable projects. Here I am with one of my more recent projects, Dasher the reindeer created for the Santa’s Cousin film premier.

When I’m not sewing, I enjoy spending time with my husband of over 40 years, my children, grandchildren, and my new great-grandson—they bring so much joy to my life!

I take great pride in being meticulous and detail-oriented, treating every project as if it were for my own family. Whether it’s a special gift or a custom creation, I put my heart into every stitch.
