How it came to be.

I first picked up sewing after paying for a $250 wool horse cooler repair that didn’t go as planned. What felt like a disaster at the time unexpectedly led me to something I’d grow to love.

When Joann’s closed, I was stocking up on clearance fabric and came across two fabrics that stuck together. They were soft, quiet, reusable — and unlike anything I had worked with before. After using them in a few projects, I started passing pieces along to friends.

Then friends shared them with friends, and I started hearing all the different ways people were using them: one friend used it to pad her CPAP mask, a vendor friend used it to wrap and display breakables at craft fairs, and another made a belly band for her dog. Before long, I needed more — and so did they.

That’s when I started digging deeper into how it was made and where it came from.

The fabric has two working sides — hook and loop — and after a long search, I found each side in different regions, one on the East Coast and one on the West Coast.

Sales was never my world, but at 45, I taught myself how to build a website, package orders, and ship everything out — because people kept asking for it, and the fabric was quietly solving everyday problems.

And that’s how Soto and Stitch came to be.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I can’t wait to see what you create with it.

Let’s stay in touch on socials — I love experimenting with this fabric and sharing ideas, inspiration, and new ways to use it.
