Rachael Gander

I’m Rachael Gander, an all-around crafty lady, fabric enthusiast, blogger, and designer. I have an incredible (and perhaps, at times, compulsive) desire to express myself. I first learned to sew alongside my mom, but lost interest in the craft until my early 20's when I got my own machine. over those last fifteen (plus) years, I’ve experimented with modern quilting, accessories and garment sewing, pattern design, hand-printed fabric, and textile design.

Imagine Gnats started as an Etsy shop, selling small sewn items to help support my family and to give me a creative outlet in a corporate world. It’s come a long way in just five years--from a hobby to a full-time job. My love of sewing and design has grown as well, and now my own sewing patterns help and inspire others to create! I am proud to have created patterns that are easy to sew and easy to wear. Imagine Gnats patterns feature classic silhouettes with a modern twist that incorporates clever details and practical techniques.
