PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Madison Blyler is a Philadelphia art educator who recently added entrepreneur to her title.

She makes pillows, totes, crossbody bags, zipper pouches and recently just collaborated on a line with bucket hats.

A self-taught sewer, Blyler's small-batch everyday designs are a simple solution. She uses upcycled materials from donations, thrift stores and local wholesale retailers which makes each of her pieces one of a kind.

Blyler's goal for The Corner Store is to one day make it a zero-waste brand. She is selling her accessories and home goods on her website and in retailers across Philly.
