Itās been a minute since Iāve done an introduction. Since our recent change in operations, now feels like a great time to share more about my little pillow shop story...
Hi! Iām Katie - owner and seamstress behind Mississippi Stitches. Long story short, Iām a former pediatric hem/onc nurse turned pillow maker. I started this business as a side hustle in 2015, rebranded in 2018, then turned it into my full-time job at the end of 2019. Itās been a wild journey navigating this business during C*VID, supply chain issues, economical downturns, economical upswings, and more curveballs!
In April 2023, I purchased some property in Flora, Mississippi. My dad and I built a garden here, and I have spent every summer since learning what not to do.
In July 2024, on this same property, I broke ground on a new home and workroom. Just when I thought I had it all figured out, my life took a bit of a turn. At the same time I broke ground, I met the man I now call my husband.
On June 7, 2025, Brennan proposed to me at my favorite spot overlooking the garden. He and I got married the following November, and on that same day, I became stepmom to his two precious kiddos. Although since getting married, I no longer wake up here every morning, Brennan and I have found this place to be the perfect retreat. The past (almost) two years have been full of big changes and new adventures, but Iām so grateful for Godās provision and His continued blessings over this season.
This new workroom has been a dream come true, and Iām incredibly grateful for each day spent here sewing and packing your orders. Iād love to be a part of making your dream space a reality. To place an order with my workroom, start by completing one of my custom request forms linked in bio - pillows or drapery! Once I receive your request, Iāll get a quote setup for you and send you instructions on how to proceed.
