What was the first thing you ever remember making on your own? Tell us about this memory. Stories about human struggle and resilience are so inspiring to me and this book found me at a time I really needed it. I read it in two days and found so much peace and released so much pain that I had experienced with my own miscarriage. At the time I had no idea what the book was about. They have a shelf that you can borrow books and I borrowed the book The Light Between Oceans. There is a place up the road from our cabin called The Greenbank Store. Our family has a small beach cabin on Whidbey Island. Name a book that you’ve recently read which inspired you and why? Once the machine and I get into a rhythm it’s magic.
I love sewing because it is challenging but also calming.
ISLAND VIBE BEACH ROMPER HOW TO
We taught ourself how to make pillow cases, doll dresses and hair scrunchies. My older sister and I loved sewing from the moment we learned how to do it. After my first daughter was born I started my Instagram account to share my projects and started getting requests to create items for others which I continue to do today. I love to make something out of nothing and to make old new again. I am a person who always likes to create and solve problems.
For work I am a speech language pathologist who works with the birth to three year old population. I now live in Seattle, Washington with my husband and two daughters. I grew up in a small beach community called Solana Beach, California and very much still identify myself as a girl from southern California. Tell us a bit about yourself and what you do. From restoring their 1950’s Widbey Island Cabin into a beautiful getaway spot available for rent, and transforming her home from regular shabby to bohemian chic, not to mention her macrame business she manages to maintain whilst mothering her two daughters and working as a speech language pathologist, what comes across is a love of making, using her hands, and endlessly finding ways to enhance both her craft and nurture creativity in her children. Katherine (Katie) Merisko is a doer, finding great joy and comfort in using her hands, whereby most of us might rest in a semi permanent state of procrastination when it comes to creative home solutions, Katie is churning out project after project and seems really rather quietly unstoppable.
