In this space, my creativity finds a tangible outlet, whether I’m stitching tulips, hand-building beer-fest-sized mugs, or swearing at a sewing machine. I make things you can hold, wear, feel, even stare at judgmentally (I mean, why not). Each piece is handmade in my Haarlem studio at a slow, human pace.

What I can Make

  • I make quilted jackets and vests hand stitched with illustrated appliqué.
    My goal is to make pieces that are comfortable and just the right amount of unique, so you won’t bump into your clone two doors down. (lived it, don’t recommend)

  • Small versions of the big ideas, only more playful and durable. Tested and approved by kids who refuse to sit still.

  • I also create decorative pieces, like quilts and small buntings, that bring texture and warmth to your space.

  • I’m still on a learning curve, but I also make ceramics and tableware in small batches.
    They’re wobbly and glazed with stubborn dedication — more updates soon.

First contact

You reach out with your idea. I make sure we’re speaking the same language, and together we define colors, appliqué shapes, and sizing. I work with fixed base patterns, but small custom tweaks are always possible.

making

Your piece is carefully stitched, quilted, and occasionally, respectfully, screamed at in my studio.
It becomes one-of-a-kind. Sometimes it even develops a heartbeat.

delivery

It’s yours to wear, to look at, and to accidentally spill coffee on.
