About Me
Hi, I’m Liesl (pronounced lee-zul). I’m 26. I live in a tiny town in the Skylands of North Western New Jersey. I’m here with my parents, twin brother, grandmother, a dog and a handful of cats on beautiful chunk of land that has been in our family for over a century. This situation offers me the opportunity at this point of my life to do what I love (at least part time) and that is run Liesl Made—which is a little project that encompasses all my sewing adventures.
Things I love: The color gray. Elderflower water. Finding new music. Goats. Greyhounds. Vintage. Anything that smells like lemongrass or almonds. The Virgin Mary. Autumn. Natural fibers. Clothes on the line. Snow.
I blog about all sorts of things here in this wee space. Mostly my sewing, but sometimes herbivorous foods and recipes, music, fashion, photography, nature and handmade, of course!
If you have any questions, feel free to email me at liesl52(at)gmail(dot)com or simply comment anywhere on the blog and I’ll be sure to get back to you!
About Liesl Made
From 2006 to early 2012, I ran a little shop, also called Liesl Made on Etsy. It was great run but I decided to give it up and focus on crafting for myself and family and friends for a while.

Hi Liesl!
You’re reading Against the Grain? Wow, very nice! Hope to stop by new Jersey sometime soon – of course, if you ever make it over here, you’re more than welcome!
Hi! I love your creations, and I like your hand quilted spiral quilt. I’m about to take a look at lieslmade.com. Mmmmm.. there is nothing here yet but I think you are inspiring me to get my crafts going and get them onto etsy. Thaaaank youuu!!!! :)
I just looked at your flickr…. I am now a Leisl art follower.
Hmmn, I can’t *not* be a follower as a fellow 20-somthing twin. Power to ya.
Hello! I guess a year or so ago you had a great tutorial on how to make those folded star hot pads. I still read compliments about your tutorial, but can’t seem to find it now. Is there any chance you would be willing to share those instructions again?
Tell me if I’m wrong…
But, judging from the photo’s I’ve seen on your page, I would surmise that your environment is a perfect place for you to draw inspirational elements to incorporate in your designs and creations (wow… what a nerdy sentence with possible run-ons). If it is, then I am quite envious of you… there are very few people that have the opportunity to do what they want (and love) to do, and be able to do it all in an environment that’s beneficial to their work. Even if you are only 20-something, you are an inspiration to everyone regardless of age.
Anyways, I don’t seriously talk like what I typed above… I just wanted to say nice work!
Your creations are soooo fantastic! Love it!
Lies, nice blog!
I do love yours!
I was reading your profile I wonder where you live, finds inspiration in the home environment of nature, animals, water, blue sky, family … I think his dwelling house is a beautiful place, important man needs to live. Outside of New Jersey, I know of outside of my country, I live in Brazil, Sao Paulo inner city call my Araraquara, I was born here, I have been married for 11 years, have two sons aged 18 and Natalie Gustavo at 12. My abode is a small apartment of 82 m², my activity is artesnato and take care of my children are my treasures. I bring God into the heart and He who keeps me up and gives strength to continue on my way. I loved to know a little of his life, as is living large house with family, pets, take the field as I think is very good backyard. I have not seen their work, I will do with great care, hope you like me. Visit my blog and please leave me a message. I really liked you. A kiss and God bless you and your entire house.
With affection, hug!
