The name Bella Threads was inspired by my daughters name, Isabella.  I came up with the idea to make aprons when I made them for family and friends for Christmas presents one year.  This was when I discovered my obsession for fabric and my love for sewing.

I try my best to source unique cotton fabric.  I use 'upcycled' and vintage fabrics only when they are in very good condition.  Everything I make are my own patterns.  My hope is that you will appreciate the time, effort and love that goes into my products.  I am a one lady business, which wouldn't be possible if it were not for the support of family and friends.

I have lived in New Zealand for 5 years.  I live in Nelson with my husband, daughter and ever expanding menagerie.  I am originally from Oregon which I miss and love but I am getting used to the idea of having two homes.
