Asia Jackson, a full-time mom and nurse, didnsa国际传媒檛 expect to open a business.
, named after Jacksonsa国际传媒檚 two daughters, is a local handmade baby and childrensa国际传媒檚 clothing company.
Jackson said her inspiration behind the business is her children and a love for adventure, mountian biking, hiking, nature, forests and the mountians.
sa国际传媒淭he types of fabrics that I choose, I think are an Okanagan lifestyle,sa国际传媒� said Jackson. sa国际传媒淟akes, bikes, mountains, nature, that kind of stuff.sa国际传媒�
Jackson began her journey to opening Riley + Autumn Threads about a year and a half ago when she was pregnant with her second daughter, Riley.
She was in pre-labour for two weeks, unable to live her usual active lifestyle of adventuring and mountain biking, so she started sewing to keep her brain active and off the contractions.
Jackson started with making a blanket and clothing for her children.
Eventually, people in public and on social media started asking Jackson if she would make clothes for their children.
