I'm Ute, founder of jotdot - jeans upcycling pattern. I studied fashion design and am a trained pattern maker with a passion for sustainable sewing. Give your old jeans a new life! Discover sewing patterns that turn denim seams, pockets, and hems into unique design features. Every pattern design is based on my many years of experience in fashion industrie, pattern making, and product development.
Left-over fabrics, papers, found objects! I consider myself as a bricoleur! I do collages both with paper and fabric, and I do improvise! Aaaaaand I cannot live otherwise! :)
I’m Marianne, the creative mind behind Merrybeeri in Pratteln, Switzerland. I give discarded materials a new lease of life by turning old jeans, water wings, banners, umbrellas and leftover candle wax into unique handmade bags, pouches, wet bags and candles. With creativity and a love for detail, I transform what others throw away into something special: every piece with its own story to tell.
