There’s something special about creating your own clothing. It gives you more respect and curiosity for what you can truly imagine.

In February of 2022 I was talking to my dad, saying that I wanted to start a business of some sort. It never crossed my mind that it would actually happen though. Ever since I was younger I always wanted to do inventory or be able to package items up for a business. I started thinking about ways to set up an Esty account to run a small little business selling bracelets or something along those lines. My dad brought up the suggestion about how he has seen people start their own embroidery business. So, 15 year old me knowing how to sew thought of a little small embroidery machine, until I did more of my homework. We both looked into machines and chose a Ricoma machine. Before I knew it the machine was here in the beginning of April 2022. It took a lot of hard work to get the 400 pound machine down the stairs, but in the long run we were able to get it down. Next, came learning how to run the machine. With a lot trial and error, I’ve figured out how to successfully run the machine. Now at 17, I am running my own official business, EV Threadz.
