sewist
Hi, I’m Mardie, a self-taught sewist from The Netherlands. I started sewing in 2007 on my stepmothers kitchen table, and never stopped.
On this website you can view my sewing portfolio, as well as learn more about my sewing courses and my Etsy shops where I sell handmade items and PDF patterns.
I chose the name hanabachi (bumblebee) because sewing, teaching and selling all week makes me a pretty busy bee!
