Sew Kind is the invention of Gabriella Rado, a teenager from New York’s Hudson Valley, who got the itch to sew when she was just 4 years old. Santa brought her a sewing machine one Christmas and when her Mom (who could barely sew on a button herself) searched for a local sewing school, she was told that her daughter was too young to take lessons….so they waited. The day Gabriella turned eight- years- old, her mother enrolled her at a local sewing machine shop where she took lessons and attended summer sewing camp. By divine intervention and a chance meeting, she also met Debbie Fela, a local artist and heirloom sewer, who began mentoring her.
