Alliday Artist: Meet NancyLand!

Tell us a little about yourself and your business.
I'm Nancy Terry. Daughter of a fine seamstress, Grandaughter of a Quilter and seamstress, who was also a rag picker. Nothing was wasted. Indulged in art as a child. I've been sewing since I was a child. I also love to draw.     
What do you create and what do YOU love about your products?
I make hats and accessories. I love hats and could never afford what I wanted so I taught myself. Over many years of development I find my hats to be very wearable. It is only in the last year I have begun to make Facinators. I call mine Tantilizers and they can be pure expressions of fun!
  
Where do you find inspiration?
Fabrics, textures and colors. Vintage and modern shapes. My friends!
