ABOUT ME
I was born and raised in a small village in Germany where I was taught all basic "household" skills like, cleaning, cooking from scratch, doing laundry and sewing. As a child I loved to sew myself dresses and skirts and playing dress up. Of course they were nowhere close to perfect but I enjoyed it and I was proud that I made it myself.

2012 I moved to Munich for an internship in a hotel for two years.

2014 I met my wonderful husband and decided to move across the world to give our relationship a chance. When I first got here I didn't have very many friends and while I was waiting on my work visa I couldn't really do anything. So I bought a cheap sewing machine for 60$ at Walmart and started sewing. At first I made some canvas bags, wallets and small quilts. At this point I was only sewing for myself and friends.
Once I started my job here and got to know more people I didn't have very much time for sewing anymore.

2016 when I got pregnant with my son I finally got motivated again and got my "sewjo" back. I bought myself a serger so I could professionally sew him tiny little baby clothes.
I've always wanted to have my own little shop and sell baby clothes but wasn't ever brave enough to start. I was afraid people weren't going to like the clothes I make or weren't willing to pay enough money for it to be worth it to me because I couldn't afford to lose money.

ABOUT MY SHOP
2018 I started working for a friend who owns a small shop for little girl's clothes to make some money on the side while still being able to stay home with my son. I hate the thought of him spending all day in daycare with people I don't know. I think would rather be poor and stay home with him.
Anyways, one day I asked her if she had ever thought about making boy's clothes or if she thought it would be a good idea. She encouraged me to open my own shop and helped me so much!
Now that I opened my own shop I am so excited and proud! I can't wait to see all my creations on little kids and create so many more things!!
