Hello 🌸

I'm Mirka and I am the maker behind
Slow Morning Studio!
Welcome to my beloved shop and thank you for being here 💕

My joy, and appreciation for handcrafts started from young age growing up in Finland where handmade products are a big part of our culture.

I started my handmade journey in sewing on my teenege years when I started to be interested in fashion. I loved scouting thrift shops and remodelling old clothes I would find (actually I still do).

After slowly developing my skills, I began to make garments from scratch. My passion for sewing grew, and I decided to go to study Craft and Design. After the degree, I worked in a few independent fashion brands as a Dressmaker creating their collections.
Lastly, I worked as a rework seamstress in a vintage store which was the eye opening experience for me. I learned a lot about sustainability and started making more conscious and ethical choices as a consumer as well as a creator. I adopted a make do and mend philosophy of buying less and choosing well - basically saying “No” to fast fashion mass production garments and starting to create my me-made wardrobe. This path led me to my ultimate joy - designing patterns for creative people who loves timeless and comfortable designs.

Now I want to help people to make their own ethical wardrobe and create something they can be proud of, and also inspire and encourage them in their creative journey.
I hope you will love making and wearing our designs!

To live more sustainably, consciously and purposefully,
Mirka xx
