"WE STRIVE TO DESIGN CLOTHES THAT KIDS WILL LOVE TO PUT ON EACH MORNING, WITH PLEASURE AND WITHOUT TEARS"

When Olu purchased one of Anna’s Ziggy Top patterns back in 2014, when Madeit Patterns first launched on Etsy, little did she know that she would go from customer to joint business partner. After winning a sewing competition that Anna ran, Olu featured Madeit Patterns on her blog and the mutual business relationship flourished from there. In 2015, they came together to launch their first collection. “I knew that Olu would be the perfect person to help me take the brand to the next level,” Anna fondly remembers.
