About Penelope Handmade

Hi! My name is actually not Penelope. It's Jennifer. :) My great-grandmother, Penelope Eleanor (we call her Mama Nell), was a seamstress and would sew for my mother "a dress before she woke up in the morning." She passed that love of creating and making on to my grandmother, Elma Ruth, and my mother. It is a legacy I hope will live on in my daughter, Eleanor Ruth. My hope is that this space and the products I make will inspire you to create your very own heirlooms, building your own legacy of beauty and comfort.
