Jessica and her sister Jamie are the creators of SewTites® magnetic sewing pins. One day in early 2017, while working on a bag, Jamie decided to use magnets to "pin" the leather pocket in place while piecing. She called up Jessica and told her about the simple and functional idea. Jessica, who is a career marketer and graphic designer, replied "That has to be a problem other people have – we should market it!" The idea went by the wayside, however, for about a year while we were working on another business. But Sew Tites were too good an idea! They created prototypes to use as a giveaway in their 2018 QuiltCon booth. The response was overwhelming.
Within a few months, SewTites were available through distributors and in local quilt shops, and today are availabe in the US, Canada, Australia, Europe, and worldwide through SewTites.com
Their mission is to empower themselves and others to "Live Magnetically" – as fully and intentionally as possible. As a part of that mission, they donate 5% of annual profits to FCCLA, an organization that teaches teens life skills, including sewing, on their path to adulthood.
