About Me

Hi! My name is Melissa Nobbs. I was born in a small town in Utah. Growing up,

my mom (Emily Dinsdale) worked as a designer for Provo Craft. Her love of

art and design rubbed off on me. I have always loved all things creative. 

I owned my own photography business for 10 years. My specialty was 

newborn and children’s portraits. I have enjoyed doing a lot of scrapbooking,

both traditional and digital. I also love quilting and sewing. I began sewing for

friends in my neighborhood when I was just 9 years old. I usually don’t use 

patterns. Instead, I enjoy the challenge of figuring things out as I go. In 2008,

my friend and I began designing vintage style aprons. I had so much fun making

aprons because I love all reminders of past generations.

Although, I’ve had an interest in designing fabric for as long as I remember, I

really became more enthusiastic about it while designing aprons. Lacking 

computer skills, I eventually put it aside. In the Fall of 2015 I began longing

to try again. I purchased design software and began learning to use it through

watching YouTube. By the next week I was designing fabric and loving every

minute of it.

I currently live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with my husband and children. I have

been blessed with 5 creative kids, who keep me on my toes with lots of fun

and exciting “projects”.
