Hello! I’m Kristina
I had my own sewing business for 10 years before following my art background into designing patterns for fabric, wallpaper, clothing and more. I would scour the internet for fabrics that I wanted to sew with, most often coming up unsatisfied.
Once I learned to design my own fabrics, it opened up an incredible new creative world for me, that only grows more exciting with time.
I've licensed my prints with many amazing brands on products from handbags, socks, picnic rugs and fashion to wallpaper and even puzzles but my most favourite thing of all is seeing my designs printed on fabric.
I am excited to share my knowledge as a surface pattern designer with you so you can take your sewing and creativity to a whole new level!
