Ida De La Rosa Ellis
Ida has 40+ years of experience as a seamstress; I am a "Fabric Engineer".
I loves to prototype one of a kind pieces.
Teaching is another passion of mine and I also enjoys DIY projects. I can't take it with me when I die, so I need to pass it on to whoever wants to learn.
Crotchet, knitting, beading, smocking, quilting & T-shirt quilting, hand sewing, Tye Dyeing, pattern making and embroidery are a part of my talents.
​
Because of my degree in fine arts, I use my AutoCad system to create patterns.
My sites are De La Rosa Designs, Ida May Stitching, Loops Crafting Re-Looped Designs, DLR Patterns, Sew I Made This and Sew I Made That.
​
I love to video blog, showing what to do with your sewing machine or fabric.
​
Always wanting to learn new things, I have learned polymer clay, ceramics, batiking, shibori dyeing this past summer.
​
I am also a Girl Scout with 35 years of experience with Girl Scouts of Southwest Texas. I love teaching all Girl Scouts how to do anything they want to learn.
​
I have won many awards for fashion, fiber arts and even for Girl Scouting.
