Rebranding has begun! We’re changing from Evie & Essie to Sew Knit Love.
What does this mean for you? More adult patterns, but with the same classic aesthetic and love of simplicity. We won’t be rebranding our Evie & Essie patterns, but you will see our new branding on future releases.
Lovely to meet you!
We’re Suki and Sarah, and we just love handmade.
Hands up if…
You love the idea of making bits and pieces for yourself and those you love, but have no idea where to start.
Are concerned for your consumption habits and want to find a way to do green things in a fun way.
Spend hours poring over Pinterest and Instagram becoming inspired… then somewhat daunted.
Love quality textiles and want to use them in your life.
Are worried that you’ll start a project, get stuck, and have no ability to look for help.
Just love getting your craft on, whenever and however you can.
Yes?
Then you are gonna just love us.
Because we keep it simple, sweetie.
So, how did we get here?
I’m sure you have that friend who…
you think always look stylish, and they think the same of you?
who says when you’ve found something amazing, “yeah, I pinned that too!”
can’t wait to celebrate their latest crafting triumph or commiserate a failure with you?
always has coffee or wine when you need it?
Well, that’s us.
And then we became mothers within 10 weeks of each other. We shared our pregnancies and then with the birth of our daughters, Evie to Suki and Essie to Sarah, we began to craft wee things for wee people. We began to make for others who spied our creations, then enamoured customers at markets and on Etsy.
But we found simple designs lacking; none seemed to simply celebrate the amazing textiles from which they were to be created. Galvanised, we began designing our own PDF sewing patterns. We later found that there were many others like us who craved simplicity: simple design, beautiful textiles, and a classic aesthetic. Add in the wins of a simple supply chain and of having as little negative environmental impact as possible, and you have a wonderful experience for you and the Planet. It is our hope that this simplicity will empower other crafters, hopeful students or seasoned warriors, to create their own pieces and light the creative fires in their hearts. And then, pass that fire onto another!
We want you to dive into the world of handmade and unleash all the delicious feels that it has for you.
