Team Member Profile - Amii

Hi my name is Amii and I am self taught sewist from Florida whose speciality is creating dance costumes for my business Amii J Made.

I became interested in sewing when my daughter started dancing more seriously, and I wanted to be able to create costumes that expressed her personality and talent. Living with my kiddos, Jordan & Luke, and my partner, Ross, I also enjoy cooking, gardening, and singing/songwriting. My favorite housemate, though, is my dog, Harlan, who loves me unconditionally and enjoys wearing custom clothing and accessories. I am also a Navy Veteran and love volunteering at my local VA and sewing for the veterans at the VA nursing home.

As an active member of the sewing community, not only do I use my creativity for myself and my family but also to support and advocate for the Black and LGBTQ+ sewing community.
