Saranya
Crafting has always been close to Saranya's heart, and it was only natural that her devotion to it led her to sewing.
More
Like many profound beginnings, hers started at home, with her mother as her first teacher. She showed Saranya how to trace existing garments to create new ones, planting the seeds of a passion that would flourish with her.What began as simple experiments with remnant fabric slowly evolved into a deeper curiosity. She moved on to old dupattas and unused sarees, transforming them into something uniquely her own. The satisfaction of achieving the right fit, the comfort she sought, and the joy of creating singular pieces kept her captivated.
She absorbed everything she could, blogs, videos, tutorials, and with each stitch, her confidence grew. Soon, she wasn't just sewing for herself, but for friends, family, and eventually, patrons who appreciated the care and attention woven into handcrafted clothing.
Today, sewing is more than a practice for Saranya, it's her contemplative refuge, her creative sanctuary, and the way she connects with others. Every piece she creates embodies comfort, care, and individuality, stitched with intention and joy.
