Kelly Stevens
Kelly Stevens is a maker, creator, teacher, and lifelong dreamer with a deep love for all things fabric. Her sewing journey began in 2010 with a single bag project, which quickly led her to a beginner quilting class—and ultimately to a full-blown passion for quilting and sewing.
As a military spouse, Kelly has moved many times, and sewing became both her creative anchor and her community builder. Along the way, she has worked in several quilt shops, learned from countless talented makers, and gathered a wealth of experience she now loves to share with others.
Kelly taught her first class in North Carolina in 2016. Though nervous at the time, that experience revealed how much she truly enjoys teaching and empowering others to create things they never thought possible. Teaching quickly became one of her greatest joys.
In 2019, Kelly made her first ByAnnie bag, sparking a deeper dive into bag-making. After relocating (for the 16th time!) to Kansas in the summer of 2023, she continued expanding her teaching and creative work. In the spring of 2024, she began pattern testing for ByAnnie—an exciting milestone in her sewing journey. Today, Kelly brings enthusiasm, encouragement, and practical knowledge to everything she teaches, inspiring others to grow in confidence and creativity, one stitch at a time.
