This is Mathew Boudreaux (AKA Mister Domestic), presently residing in the Pacific Northwest with my husband Aurelian, our 3-year-old daughter Helena, and two cats Jordan & Camden. I am originally from Houston, TX and have managed to live all over the country during my adult life, but finally settled down and call Camas, Washington home. During the day, I work in the pharmaceutical industry specializing in oncology, but am an artist by heart and have jokingly referred to myself as an artistic gypsy flowing from theater to modeling to photography to sewing.

I had learned to sew as a kid, but never really got into it until we had our daughter. I thought it would be a great way to connect with her if I could make her cool clothes. Almost 40, I felt that my taste-level had arrived and that I could make some pretty neat-o digs, if only I could figure out how to do it. Before Helena could even crawl, my husband bought me a couple sewing classes at Modern Domestic in Portland, which was the perfect jumpstart that I needed because I haven’t stopped since.

Now, a few years into this wonderful world of fabric, I am continually trying to push myself with unique print combinations, bold color choices, and innovative uses of fabric. As one of the self-appointed pioneers of Modern Meshwork, I am absolutely obsessed with fabric weaving and all of its applications. I can’t wait to see where this journey continues to take me and am super stoked and honored that my fabric party continues to rage on!

Hi! My name is Lisa and I’m the creative behind two pretty poppets! The name ‘two pretty poppets’ comes from my two girls, Chloe (5) and Leah (3), who both affectionately get called ‘poppet’ a lot. I have been married to my husband Daniel for 7 years and know I wouldn’t be where I am today without his love and support.

After learning how to sew at a very young age, I dabbled in different projects over the years but never really found my true calling… Until I discovered the world of making bags… Or should I say, until I discovered the avenue of designing my own bags! Since it’s inception at the start of 2014, two pretty poppets has grown significantly and now offers a wide variety of sewing patterns for bags, covering both genders, all ages and all occasions. My patterns have evolved to now include clear and detailed diagrams (instead of photos), are clearly and concisely written, and very easy to follow. All of my recent patterns also include large print pattern pieces to take the hassle out of joining pattern pages together.

Along with designing patterns, there have been many other opportunities along the way including having a pattern featured in One Thimble, working with Sew Boxes on their Spring 2016 box, being Miss May for Club CloBird 2016, partnerships with Sew Creative Supplies and 2 Green Zebras, and so much more. Throw in sew alongs, swaps, blog series and competitions, and you have a whole bunch of crazy! But an awesome kind of crazy and I’m absolutely loving it!

I am beyond excited to be part of Club CloBird 2017 and can’t wait to see all the gorgeous bags made from each bi-monthly club bag!

Hi! I’m Tara. I create multi-dimensional, functional fabric art for the home using classic and madweave techniques.

As an enthusiastic teacher, I am dedicated to helping other sewists incorporate weaving into their projects while teaching them a new skill. I invented the WEFTY, the only needle made by a weaver designed specifically for use with fabric strips and bias strips.

I’m a former mental health therapist from the Midwest, and live with my husband and two young daughters in the Seattle area.
