Hi, I'm Natalie!
I'm on a journey of discovering hobbies I love and sharing them with others! Nat's Knacks was born as a place to try new things, show the ups and downs, and spread a little joy with fun homemade items. I'm grateful to have friends and family that support me along the way!
Thanks for being here!
My Story
In 2024 I became determined to find an artsy hobby (I love coloring books, but I wanted something different). I bought an iPad and started doodling then making my doodles into stickers. It was a fun way to be creative! I started Nat's Knacks with hopes of focusing on marketing materials (stickers, mugs, pens, etc.) for other companies. I wanted to use my marketing degree, but I felt like my creativity didn't go very far and my passion for it was short lived.
Towards the end of 2024, I had an urge to pick up sewing again (middle school Natalie loved sewing). 2025 would be the year! I set a goal for the new year, bought a sewing machine, and I've been having a blast since (with the exception of a few frustrating moments LOL). I started making gifts for my family and friends, which brought me a whole lot of joy. I wanted a way to document the process and use Nat's Knacks for something I loved, which leads to where we are now. I'm still learning, both to sew and document the process, but I'm having so much fun in the process!
