Annika Kvist Designs

Annika’s love of sewing began at just 11 years old when she made her first shirt with her mum. After studying fashion, travelling the world and gaining valuable experience in a sewing factory, she settled in Sydney, where she studied pattern making and spent 12 years working in the design room for renowned Australian designer Collette Dinnigan.

Her career took her behind the scenes of international fashion collections, including preparations for shows in Paris and Australia, giving her a wealth of experience in garment construction and design.

After moving to the beautiful town of Yackandandah in Victoria, Annika discovered the world of indie sewing patterns and was inspired to create her own range of PDF patterns. Combining her industry expertise with a lifelong passion for sewing, she now shares her designs with home sewists who love creating beautiful, individual garments.
