Hi! I’m Janice. I am a Christian wife and mother of 10 beautiful adult children. I have 12 grands and run 2 businesses. A sewing business with a few of my daughters and a STR rental LLC business with my husband. I look forward to meeting many of you on here. Happy New Year!

Hey Everyone! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and New Year celebrating with your family and friends. I have a large family as you can read in my bio and we had a wonderful Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Then I was up in Pennsylvania visiting family for the past 10 days while my Dad is in the hospital . Just returned home last night so I’ve been trying to catch up with the school intro modules while I’ve been gone to get a Headstart on how to navigate here. I am looking forward to getting to know you all and sharing some of our projects and helping you with any SEWING questions you may have. I would love to be a resource for you if you’re just getting started or a season sewist like I am. Feel free to introduce yourself tell me where you’re from and shoot me a question(it doesn’t even have to be about SEWING😊).

Hi, I’m Janice, founder of Keepers at Home 🪡 I’ve spent decades sewing for real homes, real families, and real wear and tear and now I teach others how to do the same with confidence. I’m a wife of nearly 40 years, mother of 10, and Grammy 💛, and I run a mother/daughters sewing business specializing in custom slipcovers, soft furnishings, alterations, and light upholstery. We serve homeowners and vacation rental clients in Upstate South Carolina and the Outer Banks of North Carolina 🌊🏡 spaces where durability, fit, and finish truly matter. What makes my teaching different is experience. I don’t teach theory or perfectionism—I teach what actually works. I’ve sewn for high-use vacation homes, busy households, and clients who need results that last. I know where beginners get stuck, what mistakes cost the most, and how to simplify the process without sacrificing quality. Inside my courses, you’ll learn how to: ✨ Sew with confidence, even if you’ve felt overwhelmed before ✨ Create professional-looking results using practical methods ✨ Avoid common errors that waste time, fabric, and money ✨ Work at a pace that supports your life, not exhausts it My goal is to help you build skills you can trust, whether you’re sewing for your home, your family, or your own business.
