How Betsy Ross Sewing Patterns came to be...
Betsy Ross was born out of a need for change in the world of clothing and sewing patterns. It seems impossible to find stylish, well-fitting and user-friendly patterns. Once you find a pattern you can live with, you discover that the instructions are unnecessarily confusing, the tissue pattern is ripped and unusable after five minutes of opening the package and the sizing chart is impossible to decipher. So one night, unable to sleep, Aimee Pflieger Dolby began thinking of a better way to make sewing patterns, and she came up with Betsy Ross.
...about Aimee:
I began sewing around 10 years old in the Busy Bees 4-H club in Huntington, Indiana. One of my first projects was a pair of neon green and hot pink capri pants. They were really cool and I wore them around all summer. I think it was also that summer that I realized that I lived on a gravel road in the middle of nowhere in Indiana, and no one was wearing green and pink capri pants except for me. Many ripped seams and pattern prototypes later, Betsy Ross sewing patterns finally became a reality. Coincidentally, I am now living on Betsy Ross' turf in Philadelphia with my sleepy cat, Petey.
I named Betsy Ross after the famous seamstress of course, but we also know Betsy to be an entrepreneur, upholstery expert, political activist, mother, wife, and all around amazing lady. To me, the name Betsy Ross evokes the characteristics of the women for whom I created my company: inventive, creative, powerful, and multi-faceted.
