About Second Chance Magic

The Maker

Hi, I am Kristen, a hardcore thrifter, forever Disney Adult & the shop's upcycling princess. I am a one woman show that runs all aspects of this small shop.

I am a full time Biology teacher in South Jersey, and a mama to two little boys: Lincoln (9) & Harrison (6).

I am new to sewing, as I began in the Spring of 2022. I am self taught, learning something new about this wonderful craft every day. I started sewing for my own mental health, for upcycling and creating has saved my teaching career & brought such an amazing new experience to my life.

The Shop

Your upcycled magic is created right here in my tiny home. It started with a sewing machine on my dining room table where I would have to clear it and reset up every time before and after a meal.

Summer of 2024 the shop relocated to our smallest bedroom, 9' x 9' to be exact, where Second Chance Magic finally has a little space of it's own.
