About me
Easy and fun with bits of magic
Welcome! If creating is your passion, I can help you confidently transform fabric pieces into cute companions with hidden superpowers.
It all started with my grandma, that thought me so much, and my mom, who always understood my passion and supported me. I still have the first sewing machine she bought me for my birthday years ago.
I am so proud I can pass my passion to my two sons now. I enjoy creating with them, they are my door to the forgotten world, where no rules exist, colors are combined in crazy ways, and time stops for a while. They are my severest critics, my biggest motivators, always encouraging me and cheering me on.
Please, come in, look around, I hope you like what you see. You are more than welcomed to join me on this journey.

Dear Maya, Thank You so much for sharing these lovely patterns and ideas. I have two friends in poor health who need a hug and I have tons of scrap material, so I’m making one for each of them. When I finish I’ll send you pictures.
Hi Lynn, that’s so good to hear. I would love to see the pictures and I do hope your friends will feel better soon, hugs certainly will help. 🙂

Are the free stuffed animals small in size? Do we need to enlarge the patterns?
All your ideas are so cute.
Thanks for sharing,
Ellen
Thank you Ellen.
All free stuffed animals are small in size, you don’t have to enlarge the pattern unless you would like to make them bigger.
Happy sewing ✂✂✂

Where can I find `Bernie the Cat’ pattern? I can’t seem to locate the pattern. He is just `Too, too’.
Thanks much and stay safe.

Hello,
I have tried 2x to get your teddy bear pattern and it is not showing up for me.
Please try to send it to me.
Hi Christine, please check your email, I’ve sent you a message.
Hi Maya!
I used your teddy bear pattern to make 3 teddies for Christmas gifts. I also helped a little friend to make some for her siblings for Christmas. I have a blog and I posted your link in it. I hope it was okay to do that without asking your permission.
Here’s my blog address: http://www.ladyelsielee.com
Merry Christmas!

Dear Linda, THANK YOU SO MUCH! I love the big bow, and tinny dots, and flowers! They all look amazing, thank you so much for sharing them with us. I wish you all the best in 2022, lots of amazing creative projects and heartful people to share the magic with.

Just tried received email today re: Kiki pattern. Love it so tried using the discount code but had already expired? Now not buying pattern disappointed.
Dear Kerrie, I only sent the reminder email on Sunday the special one-time offer is ending on Monday. Did you try on Sunday before midnight? If so please write me my e-mail and we will figure something out. In the meantime, I’ll check if technically everything works as it should. Kind regards, Maja
Dear Maya,
I cannot see if the toys are in Canadian or Americian dollars?
Dear Angela, if you are in Canada, you should see Canadian dollars. To be 100% sure, start the buying process in PayPal, because in PayPal you should see the price in your currency. I do hope this helps. I’ve also sent you an email if you would need any additional help.
