The Perkie Journey!
It all started when I was out with friends, and my stick-on bra started to fall off. What does one do? Put it in their purse? Run to the bathroom and put the bra under the hand dryer? SOS! This is not just a "me problem", but a problem countless women have experienced and run into regularly.

Following My Creative Needs
Sewing is in my blood. Both of my grandmothers worked in the sewing factories in Kingston, NY from the 1930’s – 1950’s. I started to sew when I was 10 years old and have always had an interest in creating new things by hand. Over the years my talents evolved from making my own doll clothes and clothes for myself, constructing a backpack from a kit that I travelled through Europe with, and even sewing my bridesmaid’s dresses.

The Power Gap
At some point in your life, you may have come across an ominous-sounding proverb that goes something along the lines of divide and conquer or divide and rule. You may be wondering what it means, how it works, or if it is even still adhered to today… Surely we’re much smarter than to allow a singular person/institution/belief system to divide us right? Looking around at the state of our planet, the war, the famine, the infighting amongst groups who would normally stand united, and the inequity marginalised people are still facing… it is unfortunate to say, but we still seem to be very much susceptible to a motto that is thousands of years old.
