When looking for fabrics that are beautiful, timeless and sustainable, I am almost despaired. I had rediscovered sewing and clothes making as a hobby but couldn't find what I wanted in the fabric stores and online shops. So I took matters into my own hands and made contact with sustainable producers and small manufacturers who care about the environment as much as I do.
When the bales of fabric started to pile up at home I moved them in the summer of 2020 to the Feuerwehr Viktoria to open what has probably been the smallest fabric store in Switzerland. A year and a half later we are already heading to our new location at Genossenschaft Warmbächli - with much more room for our fabrics and your sewing ideas! Here you will find the most beautiful sustainable range of fabrics. And there are not so few fabrics: Over 100 European linen fabrics, a unique selection of hemp and ramie, sustainable silk and many organic-certified fabrics. You will be amazed how beautiful sustainable fabrics can be!
As a career changer I often see things differently and do not care how something would be "normally" done. Creativity and the will to do things differently (and better) are most important for my company. I gained some (or actually quite a lot) background knowledge and solid basics during my training to become a Fashion Specialist BP at the Swiss Textile School. I like to pass all of this on in my sewing workshops to everyone who likes (to learn) to sew.
When I'm not in the studio you can find me with my three children - or dreaming about good fabrics.
