Hi there! My name is Apphia. I’m the oldest sister in the group, and definitely the most perfectionistic. If you’ve ever sewn with a marie-madeline sewing pattern, you’ve seen what I do. Each of our designs start out with a sketch (and a lot of brainstorming), then I hand draw and drape each piece until it suits my fancy. Sewing for little girls is one of the things I love to do, and creating these patterns for our little company has been so much fun! I can often be found in the studio late at night – drawing and cutting, fitting and sewing.
Nowadays, I’m also sewing under my own label – APPHIA handmade – and my designs are available in my Etsy shop! I believe everyday things should be beautiful and elegant. Simple, too. So that’s how I sew. Thanks for stopping by!
