Hello and welcome!

My name is Kazue and I design and create sewing patterns to make little felt animal friends.

As a little girl, I loved my Nuigurumi (a Japanese word for plushies) as long as I can remember,
I still have my old faithful friends and also occasionally add new members!
Also, I've always loved sewing and crafting, I enjoy the process of making things with my hands.

I went to fashion school in Japan where I learnt pattern making and dressmaking and when I graduated my first full-time job was a pattern maker for plush toys.
That was over 20 years ago, now coming back full circle and I get to create original little animal patterns for my Etsy shop!

It is important for me to create easy to follow patterns and instructions so that you won't feel lost in the creative forest.

I hope you find something you like in my shop and create a heartfelt gift for someone special or just for yourself!
