About Me

Hi, I'm Izzy.

I'm a pattern maker, sewist, and the founder of ISMARO Patterns.

I started ISMARO with one simple idea: the things we use every day should be both beautiful and practical & making them yourself is one of the most rewarding ways to bring that into your life.

Whether it's a pair of linen pants you'll wear all summer, a toy storage solution that actually gets used by the kids, or a handmade gift for someone you love, I believe sewing has the power to create objects that become part of our everyday stories.

Every pattern begins with a real problem I wanted to solve in my own life or a void i was feeling in my closet. I spend months designing, refining, and testing each one so you can focus on the fun part: creating something you'll be proud of!

My goal is to make sewing feel approachable, inspiring, and deeply satisfying. Whether you're making your very first garment or your fiftieth.

Thank you for being here and for supporting this little dream of mine. Every download, every photo you share, and every project you make helps this one-woman business continue to grow.

I can't wait to see what you create.

🫶🏼 Izzy
