Misty Swift Misty Swift began sewing from home for herself and friends after being distraught over a beautiful bag she purchased only to discover it was horribly made and almost immediately fell apart. Her main motivation to starting her own business was the desire to have one of a kind bags that were high quality and beautiful. This is when the "Fairy Sew Swift" was born. She currently sells directly to Sunshine Daydream in beautiful downtown Madison, WI and also Minglewood in Rockford, Illinois. Last year, she was asked by a local librarian if she could come in during story time, to play guitar and sing for the kids, and was asked to put a program together to perform for their summer program, and offered to pay her for it. Misty was invited to play at ten libraries locally, and has an incredible time teaching kids of all ages about outer space and the galaxy we live in. She was also invited to perform at a "Fairy Frolic", a local store, singing original songs and telling stories about fairies.dkdk
