Welcome to the new Featured Company series on PatternReview. A pattern from an indie designer is more than what's in the envelope. They put a lot more of themselves in their patterns. In this episode I am chatting with Rae Hoekstra of Made by Rae Pattern Company. From blogging, designing and sewing modern easy to sew patterns for herself and her followers, this former teacher quickly learned that there was a need for patterns which fit her design aesthetic. Rae and I talk about our love of all things making including knitting! Celebrate Made by Rae pattern week with us by posting reviews, buying and sewing with her patterns. Scroll down to find a giveaway!
My vision behind doing these interviews is not only to promote small sewing businesses but also to shed some light on the very real struggles we go through. A day in the life of a small business owner can vary greatly. Your support in reading this, buying patterns, sewing with them, subscribing to our Youtube channel will help PatternReview and Made by Rae Patterns. Thank you!
