About

Sarai Mitnick, Owner and Designer
Sarai dreamed of sewing patterns that she would want to make over and over, so she turned that dream into Colette Patterns. She loves unusual and subtle touches in clothing, learning old-fashioned techniques, and experimenting with fabric. Her favorite thing about sewing is that, like all true crafts, it involves continuous learning and discovery. Sarai loves cats, growing vegetables, fizzy gin drinks, old costume jewelry, seeing new cities, photography, and books. You can also follow her at her personal blog Sweet Sassafras, or on Twitter.

Kenn Wilson, Inventory and Web Guy
Kenn is our talented web developer and logistics manager. He helps with customer service and keeps things running smoothly. In his off hours, Kenn enjoys well-crafted drinks, travel, and developing crazy schemes. You can read about his cocktail adventures on his blog, Cocktailia.

Caitlin Clark, Design Assistant
Caitlin has been sewing for several years and recently began pattern making. She plans on making and selling small clothing collections that remain true to her love of the well-made. Caitlin loves beautiful things, especially antiques and fluffy cats. Her background in poetry has given her an eye for delicate details and an unusual desire to wear flowing skirts. She lives in Portland, Oregon, with her understanding husband and two cats. You can follow Caitlin at her blog, the story girl.
