About this Product
Purple Lyza
Meet the Maker
My name is Beth Butorac and here is my story.
I am in my 50's and have been married to the same wonderful man for 31 years and counting. I have two grown children (wow, that is hard to say!). My daughter, the oldest, is married and is a special education teacher. That has been her passion since high school. In 2021, my husband and I became empty nesters when our son joined the marine corps.
Anyway, I have always been interested in the arts. It started with theater, then murals, then painting acrylic on canvas, then cross stitching. I still like doing that stuff, but I am one of those artists that likes to try new things. I also wanted to eventually have my own business doing something. I had always wanted to learn how to machine sew. I made my first t shirt blanket for my daughter. I was then hooked on sewing! I began sewing quilts with the help of YouTube! (Now YouTube and I are very close!). Soon after, I was introduced to the Cricut machine and how to make fabric appliques to put on a quilt. I began using vinyl on t shirts, then along came hotfix rhinestone tutorials and I bought a silhouette machine. Then screen printing, then I was introduced to sublimation, and I fell in love!
In 2022 I was diagnosed with stage 1a breast cancer. Surgery and radiation followed, but thankfully, no chemo. Now medication for at least 5 years. I am now proud to say that I am a cancer survivor! And in the same year, Purple Lyza was born. I am still on a never-ending journey of learning and discovering new things, and I love it!
I am a crafter; a wife; a proud Mom of a Marine; a proud mom of a special education teacher; a breast cancer survivor, and a beautiful and unique person.
I do custom, made-to-order t shirts, wind spinners, aprons and ornaments using sublimation, screen printing, rhinestones and sewing.

I LOVE WHAT I DO, SO LET ME CREATE FOR YOU!
