Maaike sees everyone as a maker that she's always willing to give them a good customer experience.

Maaike created Maaidesign when she thought, having a fabric store would give her more time to sew. Her other reason for creating Maaidesign was to have access to fabrics she wanted to sew for her daughter.

Maaike is a trained designer so you can understand why the fabrics Maiike provides us are collaborations with designers. As she says, when you have a business there are many more tasks to do that cut into your sewing time. Maaike gives us some behind the scenes info about how she sources fabrics and patterns. Modern Makers is her latest online sewing space that will open again to new subscribers in May 2025. https://www.modernmakers.com.au/
