Meet the designers.
Evelien Cabie and Britt Guetens both have over 10 years of experience with making sewing patterns and tutorials for home sewists. "Our sewing pattern company Notches was born in 2023 out of a desire to use our skills and talents to do something good for the world and make people happy. In our case, that translated into a business that makes it possible to sew your own sustainable wardrobe that matches your personality and show you how you can use this skill to build confidence within yourself. "Because confidence leads to resilience, which is one of the most important factors to live a happy life. And we believe that fashion and sewing can play a beautiful role in achieving this."
"Being a home-sewist is turning into a lifestyle, one where you live life more consciously, create more mindfully, and give yourself permission for that moment of me-time on a regular basis. Isn’t that a wonderful recipe for a regulated nervous system ;-)."
"Moreover, as a home-sewist, you have the freedom to create a wardrobe that is made for your own body and fully reflects your own personality, regardless of any trends and seasonal ‘must haves’. After all, the only way to bring out your true beauty is to be completely yourself, and to show on the outside who's really on the inside."
"That’s why our baseline reads: BRING OUT THE YOU IN YOU! … and why our patterns are super versatile. You can make many different variants with one pattern, according to your personal style and needs."
