Biography

Jenny Ryan is a kitsch-and-cupcake-obsessed artist and crafter living in Silver Lake, CA, with her cartoonist husband Johnny and their two insane cats, Kang and Kodos. She is the creator of SewDarnCute and has had her handiwork featured in BUST, Knit.1, and Crochet Today magazines. She has appeared on two episodes of the DIY Network's needlecrafts show "Uncommon Threads" as well as on KNBC's "Your LA" morning show. Jenny also moonlights as the organizer behind LA's popular indie craft fair Felt Club, and as a writer for CRAFT magazine. Her new book, SewDarnCute: 30 Sweet & Simple Designs to Sew & Embellish will be out Winter 2008 from St. Martin's Press.
