Sewing – Crafts & DIY – Patterns – Home Decor

Dafhtne Paz– Founder and Content Creator.

My name is Dafhtne Paz, and I am a fashion designer and a sewing and DIY enthusiast. I believe I can DIY absolutely everything, and I’m not afraid to try new things.

I learned to sew for the first time at the age of 9 on an amazing 1920 vintage Singer sewing machine taught by my grandma. She showed me the magic of turning fabric into creations. Since then, I haven’t stopped. I started by making clothes for my dolls, and as a teenager, I began creating clothes for myself. This passion led me to fashion school in my twenties, where I officially became a professional designer. 

Sewing and Crafting have been my greatest passions for as long as I can remember, and today, I am fortunate enough to share my knowledge and creativity with the world through My Golden Thimble. I have tons of ideas that I love sharing with my readers, and getting a nice comment or a thank you from you makes my day.

My Credentials

I graduated Summa Cum Laude with Honors in 2015 from Fashion and Business Design from CEDIM, being recognized as the best student of my generation. During my studies, I participated in many contests and volunteered as a fashion designer. In 2014, I presented a special collection at the Wuhan Fashion Week in China and was granted the Excellence Award.

In addition to my studies, I worked as a designer in the industry at several fashion companies, focusing on quality sewing and design. On my free time, I create custom-made party dresses for clients in my neighborhood. I also pursued a Master’s Degree in Business Innovation, which I completed through a joint program between CEDIM and Stanford University in 2015. After that, I took a leap of faith and founded My Golden Thimble in 2017.

I occasionally teach classes at fashion universities. Most recently, in 2022, I taught students about Fashion Runway Planning. There, I guided them in developing their own collections and runways.

Collaborations and Features

Over the years, My Golden Thimble has been featured on many websites. Some include Crafts Gossip, All Free Sewing, Sewing Support, and more. Our most recent and exciting collaboration was my participation in the Spanish version of “The Fitting Book,” an amazing book written by Gina Renee from Gina Renee Designs.
