About this episode

Sanna Myers discusses her journey from Sweden to Hawaii and the challenges of building a sewing pattern brand.

What does it actually take to launch a sewing pattern brand and find an audience for your creations? In this episode, Johanna and Malena sit down with Sanna Myers from Paradise Patterns, a Swedish pattern maker now based in Hawaii, and talk through the inner workings of building a pattern brand. They follow her path from pattern school in Sweden to experimenting with her own clothing line in Hawaii, and eventually finding her way into the indie pattern world. They also get into what happens after that first pattern goes out into the world and does not quite land, how she used a free pattern to build real traction, and why community matters. If you have ever wondered what goes into the patterns you sew, this is the episode for you!
