Lucy macht

Lucy macht is all about handmade accessories for yourself and your pup!

From the mind of a dog lover and a secondary languages teacher, I love to make items that spark joy with a pop of colour, but are useful too!

I picked up sewing in textiles class back in high school days, and got my first sewing machine, a Janome, for my 13th birthday. Since then I've made costumes, my debutante ball dress, and the odd alteration for friends and family. See cringey photos below!

I've always loved sewing but always got put off by the annoying steps to get set up before actually sewing. I also worked at Lincraft back in the day for years, and had quite the fabric stash!

Lucy macht is my brain child where I get to sew things that I enjoy making, but also brightens up your day! Life is too short and there's too much going at times, so it's great when we get to enjoy the little things.

Me being a German teacher, macht stems from the word machen, which means to make or do. This sums up the vision, as when I get hooked on something, I'll get right into it!

Located in Oakleigh South, Victoria, Australia, you'll find me at markets around Melbourne! Check my market page for updated schedules.

About Me

Where it all started...
I've been sewing on and off since I was 12, when I got my Janome sewing machine as a birthday present. From starting with PJ bottoms and little projects in textiles class at school, I've made skirts, dresses and even my debutante dress.
I am definitely a solution focussed sewer - which led to all the costumes! This, with working at a fabric store throughout high school and uni, I've collected a lot of beautiful fabrics and a life-long appreciation of what it takes to make an item.

Lucy macht is my creative outlet for my love of sewing, dogs and colour!
It started as a reason to sew things from my fabric stash and to spark joy aside from the crazy world of teaching, and it quickly grew legs and became a whole thing!
Sewing Workshops
I'm excited to offer sewing workshops at Tiny Cupboard Creatives Studio in Bentleigh, VIC. With my teaching experience and love of sewing, it'll be a great time!
