Evy's Tree Information

Evy’s Tree came into my life is completely by accident; definitely what I would consider a God thing. When I decided to stay home with Jacob, money was VERY tight. In October of 2009, I was inspired by many wonderful and creative stay at home moms who could whip up these beautiful items for their families with practically no money. I felt like I couldn’t even take my kids’ hems up if I needed to, and that made me feel very inadequate as a mom for some strange reason. It seemed like everyone I knew could sew. So I borrowed my mom’s sewing machine and attempted to learn. In fact, I did a big post on my family blog regarding my feelings about being crafty right after I brought the machine home. The post is a bit of a joke now as I complained how I wasn’t creative, and yet here I am- creating for a living! You can read about that here. Anyway, I started sewing a little for myself and then I took on the task, with help from some do it yourself blogs, of embellishing some hoodies from my closet for a trip to Disney World that my family was taking in December. I made a handful of hoodies and got gobs and gobs of compliments while in Florida. I posted some pictures of the hoodies on my family blog and almost immediately I started receiving emails from people asking if they could purchase one. A couple of weeks later I put up a Paypal link on my blog and sold 15 in 30 minutes. And my business was born…today we no longer make our items by hand, but mass produce luxury pieces from high end fabrics that we have found from all over the world. Our hoodies have been featured on popular sites such as The Weigands and Tori Spelling, and yearly we sell thousands upon thousands of hoodies across the world to teenagers, college goers, career women, moms and even grandmothers! Evy’s Tree is definitely well-loved around the globe. XOX Amy Co-Owner & Designer
