Hello, I'm Keiko Olson, a sewing designer.

I work as a sewing designer in Sweden. Based on Sweden in Scandinavia, I often use fabrics and materials with colorful and bold designs that can only be obtained here.

I'm also obsessed with the charm of old Scandinavian vintage fabrics I found on antique and flea market tours, and I also use them to create works.

We aim for a design that is simple yet somewhat original, and that is a bit different from the others, so that such an attractive fabric shines.

Through the creation of works in this class, I would like to be able to tell everyone about careful sewing techniques, ingenuity for a beautiful finish, and “enjoy making things with free ideas,” which is also my motto, with various contents.

From tips for creating beautiful works without an amateur feel to how to arrange them in an original way

In today's world, there are many how-tos that can be viewed for free, but I thought about the content of the class so that they can have a “special experience” that can be offered because it is a paid class like this, and that it will be an opportunity for people to enjoy sewing even more.

It is recommended not only for leveling up for those who are sewing as a hobby, such as “I'm sewing in my own way, but I want to sew more cleanly” or “I want to get out of works that have an amateur feel”, as well as a first step for those who are aiming to become handmade artists.

It starts with a thorough review of basic knowledge, such as basic techniques and tricks. If you find it difficult, practice a few times with the basic design, then move on to the next step when you get used to it. You can proceed at your own pace.

Let's enjoy and immerse yourself in the time doing what you love without being bound by the rules

In Scandinavia where I live, making things by hand with a sewing machine is popular while enjoying time at home. In Scandinavia, there are many fabrics with a solid texture, especially for interior decoration, and there are plenty of designs.

This time, we have prepared a kit of Scandinavian fabrics and traditional woven Swedish ribbons that are not available in Japan, so let's enjoy a slightly different atmosphere by adding them to everyday bags.

Previously, in my sewing lessons, a student who had hardly touched a sewing machine tried making a dress. At that time, he said, “It took me a while to make it, but I was moved by how comfortable the clothes fit my body type! Would love to make it again!” I still remember that you said that.

Let's make an original dress that fits your body type in the lesson where you learn how to make dresses in the second half of the class.

Comfortable clothing that covers the figure just right and shows off your style is a special piece that cannot be changed from any other.

And the basic design that doesn't follow the trend is “I want to wear it anytime, for years.” It makes me think like that.

Since it is an age where everything is disposable or consumed, I would be happy if you could experience the fun of taking the time to make things carefully through this class. We look forward to welcoming everyone from our Swedish atelier!
