Jackson began her journey to opening Riley + Autumn Threads about a year and a half ago when she was pregnant with her second daughter, Riley.
She was in pre-labour for two weeks, unable to live her usual active lifestyle of adventuring and mountain biking, so she started sewing to keep her brain active and off the contractions.
Jackson started with making a blanket and clothing for her children.
Eventually, people in public and on social media started asking Jackson if she would make clothes for their children.
