Hi, I’m Shannon! I’m really glad you found your way here.

I’m a Chicago-based sewist, quilter, and sometimes pattern designer, making every Halfsleeper Handmade piece in my apartment, one careful stitch at a time. Every item I make is small-batch, slow-made, and powered mostly by thread and determination.
