Hi, I'm "Little Annie" :)

My name is Alyssa, and I am the founder of Little Annie’s Sewing and Crafts! I’m also the person who designs the hardware, fabric, and bag patterns that are featured in the store.

When my mother, Annie, passed away in 2022, I inherited her entire craft room. All of her fabric, thread, notions, and machines were moved from our home in Colorado Springs to Sarasota. Unless it's a design I drew, all of the quilting fabric we use for our bags and workshops came from her collection. 

This studio was born from a generational love of all things crafting, and I am so excited to have a space here in Sarasota where everyone can embrace their creativity!

Thank you for taking the time to check out our small, family-owned operation <3

In loving memory of

Annie Merfalen
