The inspiration to call the shop Ladybug's Cottage came from Joyce's nickname, Ladybug and the cottage feel of the coastal town of Swansboro, NC where they frequently vacationed.
Meet the Business Owner: Joyce B.
Coming from a long line of seamstresses, I have been sewing in one form or another most of my life. Many years ago, I received a brand new sewing machine as a gift shortly before my high school graduation that is now not so new, but still in daily use. I enjoy sewing and my sewing projects include garment construction, children's and doll clothes, stuffed animals, totes, purses, quilts and pillows. Since opening Ladybug's Cottage, I have designed quite a few patterns and enjoy teaching, sewing, and helping students create their own masterpieces. These days when I'm not sewing, I enjoy spending time with my grandchildren, family outings, and reading.
