Barb Flynn started sewing as a young girl making drapery panels out of bed sheets for her and her sister's bedroom. Always having a mind on figuring life out and solving problems, Barb studied history and psychology in college and became a Paralegal after college.  She worked in the law field for many years after raising 4 children, but always had her hand in sewing, whether it was for friends, their home, or a small number of clients. More recently, over the past several years, Barb took sewing courses from Jeanelle Deck, which brought her further into the world of the sewing workroom.  When Covid came, she was laid off from her paralegal position but immediately (like same day) pivoted right down to her basement to make masks raising money for a community center in Kensington.  That opened the door to more sewing opportunities and new clients; the rest is history.  She literally hasn't left the basement since March 2020! She is married with 4 grown children, 2 grandchildren, and an amazing husband.  In her "spare" LOL time she enjoys pickleball, working out and researching family history.
