Hello! I'm Livia, a Japanese/Brazilian living in the Netherlands. About eight years ago, I got my first sewing machine and haven’t looked back since. As a size M (bust and waist) and 2XL (hips) on the LN size chart, I often struggled to find ready-to-wear pieces that fit well. There’s something so freeing about creating our own clothes, isn’t there? My style is eclectic; I love classic silhouettes as much as modern and funky designs. I’m particularly obsessed with dramatic sleeves and adore an off-the-shoulder moment. The sewing community has been instrumental in my journey, helping me learn and grow as a self-taught sewist. Now, I’m excited to give back by sharing my love for pattern mash-ups and hacks, hoping to inspire others to bring their creative visions to life.
