Do you have a sketch in your mind that you've been conceptualizing for a long time, or an old garment you wish to give new life to with your own hands, but hesitate when faced with fabric and patterns?
about sewing believes that sewing can be a medium for storytelling and an experiment in pursuing personal style.
This year marks the brand's 10th anniversary, and I want to share the joy of "practicing environmental consciousness through hands-on creation" with you.
While there may not be standard operating procedures here, I will work with you from design references to sort out the process, offering professional technical support and advice from pattern making and fabric cutting to sewing.
Whether you want to create a unique new item, extend the memories of an old garment, or simply learn basic sewing skills, together we will make your creation your One and Only.
