Welcome to Boots to Bobbins! I'm Mariah, a wife, mom of four, and the hands behind every item in this shop. My journey into sewing began as a passion that perfectly fit into the rhythm of my life, which includes homeschooling my kids and maintaining our busy family farm.
I founded Boots to Bobbins in 2022 with a simple mission: to create longer-lasting, durable, and highly functional bags and accessories for families like mine. We lead busy lives, and I believe our everyday items should be able to keep up!
