Welcome

Hi, I’m Kelin

Nice to meet you! I’m Kelin—a passionate sewist and indie pattern designer.

I started out sewing clothes for myself, and over time, I’ve branched into lingerie, accessories, bag-making, and even shoes. Alongside sewing patterns from other designers, I also create my own original patterns to help build my dream wardrobe.

I’d love to have you along for this wild and creative journey. Hope you enjoy your time here—and let’s stay connected!

Where this all began

I started sewing after landing my first full-time job in tech back in 2014, motivated by a long-time dream to explore something creative—specifically, to make beautiful clothes for myself that I couldn’t easily find in stores.

To get started, I signed up for a local sewing class just to learn how to use a sewing machine—those things can be seriously intimidating when you’re a complete beginner! After that class, I ordered my first machine, and the rest is history.

I learned everything else from the wild and wonderful internet, thanks to so many amazing bloggers and YouTubers. That’s why I’m passionate about giving back to the community by sharing what I’ve created and learned along the way.
