The idea for our family business was hatched in the winter of 2006, when we girls began sewing one-of-a-kind handbags for family and friends.  We officially launched marie-madeline studio in December 2007.  Since then, our creative endeavors have grown to include bags of all shapes and sizes, aprons, little girls' clothing, and ladies' clothing.  Our exclusive marie-madeline sewing patterns debuted this year, and our favorite fabric lines are now available to our customers through our online fabric store!  The ready-made products we offer are all handcrafted, by the five of us, in our home studio.  Thank you for taking time to stop by our little corner of the world!
