Teri Corea has always had an artistic bend. The “mom-preneur” loves to paint, draw, craft and most of all sew. Corea learned to sew as a child and loves nothing better than creating at her sewing machine.
Corea’s children’s gift business When Piggies Fly evolved naturally from her love of children and sewing. The mother of three has been making costumes and gifts for her own family for years. One day, she came up with a design for a bag for her daughter to take to ballet class. The ballet bag looks just like a satin and tulle ballet costume and is big enough to carry ballet shoes, water bottle, and leotard. When her daughter showed her new bag to her friends, Corea was suddenly inundated with requests for more of them.
“The more bags I made, the more requests I got,” says Corea. “My friends kept telling me I should go into business, so I thought, why not?”
Corea says she named her business When Piggies Fly as a reminder to herself that if you work hard and have fun, anything is possible. She is always dreaming up new designs to add to her collection of unique gifts.
Corea’s pieces are as durable as they are beautiful. Each piece is handmade with high quality materials and with great attention to detail. Most items, such as her baby blankets, bags, aprons and capes can be customized to order.
