About The Paisley Poppy

The Paisley Poppy Store officially launched in October of 2015 from a front porch overlooking the amazing Blue Ridge Mountains after years of finding excuses not to "take the leap." While originally started in Roanoke, VA, The Paisley Poppy is now run out of my smoke and pet free sewing studio in Holly Springs, NC.

I offer a wide variety of handmade and sewn goods.  You will find examples of most things I have made in the past on this site.  Let them serve as inspiration for you! I am always looking to add new goods,  patterns, and styles to my inventory.

I love the the challenge of figuring out a new technique or pattern. I'm always the one who looks at something in a store and says "I can make that!" I also pride myself on finding just the right fabrics for each customer.  I will work with you as much as you want until we find exactly what you want for your project.  If you have an idea for a custom order, do not hesitate to ask me about it.

About Krista

​I am a proud maker of things, wife to Jordan, and Mama to Zack & Henry.

Since my childhood I have tended towards creativity and the satisfaction of making something myself. I was taught by my mother at a young age to sew and stitch, just as she was taught by her mother, my Oma, when she was a young girl. Along with the needle crafts, I have always enjoyed painting, drawing, and designing. Because I come from a long line of people who worked with and cherish plants and flowers, nature has always been a strong source of inspiration for me.

​When I am not in my home sewing studio in Holly Springs, NC, I can usually be found reading, enjoying live music, and hanging out with my wonderful family.
