Donate to Christine Haynes’ new venture!

The lovely Christine Haynes, author of Chic and Simple Sewing, has a kickstarter project up right now. Christine is trying to create her own line of sewing patterns.

I love working with and supporting other independent pattern designers, and would love to see Christine’s ideas come to life! If you feel like supporting her, head on over to donate!

Sarai Mitnick

Founder

Sarai started Colette back in 2009. She believes the primary role of a business should be to help people. She loves good books, sewing with wool, her charming cats, working in her garden, and eating salsa.

One of the things I best like and most admire about today’s modern young women, is the positive, supportive and encouraging attitude you have toward one another. I see it every day among my daughter and nieces.
I appreciate this spirit of cooperation so much!

I love your generous spirit Sarai. Do you mind sharing how you raised the cash to start your own line of patterns?

My business was self-funded. I just saved the money over time.
