About Jaykaiy Patterns

Hi,
I am Jacqueline, the owner and pattern maker here at Jaykaiy Patterns [pronounced jay-kay]—A "one-woman-show."

I grew up in Sweden, where I studied Fashion Design and Pattern Making. I moved to the U.S. over 15 years ago to study and currently live in Salt Lake City with my husband and two kids.

My daytime job is as a Technical Designer and Production Assistant for a luxury knitwear brand in Salt Lake City. I love being able to mix technical design with home sewing and teaching as I put together sewing patterns. It is so rewarding to work with independent designers, wether it is through grading patterns, editing sewing instructions, or developing new designs!

The Jaykaiy brand has developed into kids' clothing sewing patterns through the years with the arrival of my own two children, who you frequently see modeling the clothing made from my patterns.

I find that many makers start sewing with the arrival of a child, whether their own or a beloved niece or nephew. I aim to make all my patterns beginner-friendly by using step-by-step picture instructions.

By mixing fun patterns and prints and kid's closet staples, I hope Jaykaiy will inspire you to make and define your wardrobe. You can shop all the patterns here.

Happy sewing,
Jacqueline
