Tammy's grandmother was the one who first taught her to sew at around age 5. She has been sewing ever since. Her grandmother was an avid quilter. She gave Tammy a needle, thread and cloth and showed her how to stitch two pieces of fabric together. Tammy made her first quilt, a nine patch, for her dolls soon after that. She also made clothes for her baby dolls and barbies. For many years she worked solely by hand until one day around age 9 she became frustrated with the slowness of it and begged her mother to use the sewing machine. After much fuss and deliberation, her mother gave in and Tammy began mass production of barbie clothes. In sixth grade she made her first quilt sewn entirely by herself. She continued sewing small projects until age 15, when she started sewing garments for herself and others, including evening wear.

Tammy has won awards for her costume designs in county fairs, college and at regional theatre competitions. She now resides with her husband Patrick and her daughter, Chloe, and her son, Patrick Shane, in a rural area of Arkansas in the Ozark Mountains, about 60 miles south of Branson, Missouri. Chloe is the model for many of children's outits on www.EnchantedCostumes.com. Tammy is proud to be a Christian and gives God the glory for her abilities.
