I’m Nisan (pronounced knee-sun), a 30 year old sewist based in Montréal, originally from Turkey. I started sewing in December 2019, and I haven’t been able to stop since! I have a deep, deep love for trousers (bonus points if they are pleated), soft tailoring, and vintage silhouettes. I currently work at Closet Core Patterns as a sample maker and pattern production coordinator where I write the instructions, format the patterns, and perform a million other tiny tasks to get the patterns into your hands.
I’ve been sharing all my creations and daily musings about sewing over at @the.social.fabric on Instagram since the May of 2020. This blog was born out of my frustration with the 2200 character limit of Instagram captions, which I hit on every single post I share :’) Here you can expect to find more detailed posts about the projects I make, plans I have, and pattern / product reviews.
You can also find me pretty frequently on the Closet Core Patterns Youtube channel, chatting about sewing, sharing tutorials and tips, and engaging in general sewing tomfoolery!
