Jennifer Cirka Jaybird Designs

Hello!! My name is Jennifer J. Cirka, and I am the designer behind Jaybird Designs. I learned the basics of crochet when I was little, but really taught myself how to crochet by making baby blankets after finishing high school in 1992 when all my friends started having babies. In 2003, after the birth of my daughter, I was introduced to the eBay custom boutique world and found my love for making children’s clothing and accessories. Thus Jaybird Designs was formed. I needed to make my items stand out more, and decided to add crochet into the designs. I love making children’s sweaters and halters, along with a many other items. In January of 2007 I decided to start writing patterns and selling them. I am pleased to say that this venture is going very well for me. I currently sell my patterns through some websites and I am also under contract right now with Leisure Arts for a booklet of my designs scheduled to be released in 2009 and a few major crochet magazines. I am a proud member of the CGOA and without them, I don’t think any of this would’ve been possible!
