Welcome here!

My name is Lauren, and I am the creator of MAYA Patterns. Hyperactive,

I discovered sewing 10 years ago and... it became a passion, and now my life!

I'm 44 years old, I'm in civil partnership, I have 2 children, I'm French and after

have been living 3 years in England, I live now in Germany,  where my Happy Place,

my studio, is located.

My vision:

To give everyone the opportunity to assert their style, to take power over their wardrobe while being aware of the evolution of the textile industry and its impact on the environment.

My answer:

Let's sew, or learn to sew our clothes, and make our passion a real lifestyle. Slow fashion, slow sewing.

My journey:

I have always been passionate about fashion. Fashion, beyond trends, is above all a way of asserting oneself, of loving oneself, of feeling good, strong and pretty.  Sewing came to me almost by chance, and I quickly understood that I could also sew what I wanted to wear.  After learning how to sew on my own, I quickly had fun modifying the patterns I bought so that they really looked like me, so that they had a little something extra, a detail that belonged only to me...

One thing leading to another, I started to pattern, then to design, and that's when I felt like sharing what I do for me with you, with all the other enthusiasts...

I passed my sewing diploma a few years ago and I'm taking fashion design courses. Very curious and passionate, I like to try new techniques, so I am constantly learning...

The little extra of MAYA Patterns:

I want to do more than just make basic clothes or a capsule collection... My style is determined by striking details and a strong style. Each garment allows me to create very different looks, and to make them my own, as can be seen in the shoots for each collection.

My aim is also to offer projects adapted to different levels of sewing and to allow a different approach to sewing: to learn to sew trendy clothes, while acquiring new techniques, and above all, to have fun.

But the best thing is to try it out, so subscribe to MAYA Patterns news, choose your favourite pattern, and give me some feedback, I'll be happy to chat with you, here, or on social networks!
