About the page author

Meg McElvy received a philosophical and pedagogical education. Her love for sewing grew and developed in a small house standing on an unnamed street in a rural area somewhere in the north of Mexico. It was 2006, and Meg worked as a teacher in a Montessori one-room school. She had no internet, no television, or even a home telephone. And Meg spent most of her free time honing her sewing and pattern-building skills. Time passed, and the life of our heroine has changed: already having access to the Internet, she started a blog where she began to share her work. Now she not only sews for herself, but also comes up with her own models and sells patterns, writes master classes and publishes in specialized publications. Meg says that at first she sewed clothes because of necessity, and now she continues to do it because of the enthusiasm and joy that this business brings to her life. She calls sewing a meditative action that gives a feeling of deep well-being.

What is this page about

Meg adheres to the principles of slow fashion, requiring a responsible approach to consumption and choosing things that will last for many years.In her opinion, making clothes with your own hands not only makes it possible to wear what you really like, but it is also a transforming process that helps to make relationships with style and fashion more healthy. So, the clothes that Meg invents and sews are feminine, but comfortable, simple and beautiful in their simplicity.
