Passion of sewing turns into business endeavor

Learning the joys of sewing at the age of 13 from both of her grandmothers, Hanna Maynard has taken those lessons and passion and turned it into a business endeavor with the creation of Threaded by Faith. 

"One of them even ran her own sewing business doing alterations for people in her community. I quickly fell in love with the craft — there’s something special about turning nothing into something with your own two hands.After becoming a mom, I felt a strong desire to sew clothing for my own children, knowing exactly where and how their clothes were made. That passion eventually grew into a calling to create pieces not only for my family, but for others as well — including children’s and select adult items," Maynard told The Putnam County Post.

Threaded by Faith was born out of that calling, according to Maynard. 

"My goal isn’t to chase profit, but to use this business as a way to bless others. I’ll only be taking a small portion of the profit for myself — the majority will go toward monthly donations or directly helping families in need. At its core, this shop is about faith, generosity, and creating with purpose," Maynard said. . 

And, she said the experience has been a "humbling" one.

"It is deeply meaningful. Watching something that began as personal therapy turn into a way to clothe little ones and bless families is incredibly humbling. To pass that love of sewing on through handmade, intentional pieces — each created with care and prayer — is truly a gift," she said.
