June began sewing by hand at the age of eight when she learned how
to sew a button to a scrap of fabric. She moved on to hand-embroidery
and hand-stitching clothes and blankets for her dolls and stuffed
animals soon after.

caps and slippers for her customers—mostly family members, friends,
and neighbors—to earn money for her creative endeavors and other
activities.

When she was eleven, June's Grandma McCrary taught her how to
make a dress, step-by-step, using her grandma's 1967 Brother sewing
machine. In junior high and high school, June took every sewing class
offered at school. She has not stopped stitching by hand and on her
machines ever since.
