Hi, my name is Maimu (English pronunciation: my-mou) and I am all the way from Estonia.
I discovered sewing in high school thanks to my friend Kadri, and have been sewing for myself and others ever since.
I've studied art, fashion, technical design of clothing and tailoring. I've worked as a menswear tailor; as a women's wear tailor and dressmaker; and in RTW clothing industry, specialising for some time in suits and sportswear right after the later. In 2015 I said goodbye to clothing industry.
Even thou I've spent a lot of time in school, and polishing my skills working; I still feel that my skills can only get better over time.
For me, sewing isn't only means to clothe myself, but rather a perfect outlet for creativity.
You are an inspiration, and I am so glad I found your site. As for myself, I have not been able to sew for several years due to moving too often. Looking at your work, I long for the day I´ll be able to go back to my hobby!
