Hello!

I’m the maker behind EmikoMakes! 👋
“Emiko” means “smiling child” in Japanese — and I hope the little handmade treasures I create bring a bit of that same joy to your day.

Aside from my vocation as a Montessori early childhood teacher, I love designing, creating, and sewing. I enjoy every step of the process — coming up with new ideas, practising, and bringing them to life.

I craft pouches, bags, and accessories with care here in New Zealand. Each piece is thoughtfully made to be both useful and a little delight in your everyday life.

This is my little corner of the world, where fabric, thread, and ideas come together. Everything you see here is made by me, with love, for people who appreciate the joy of handmade.

Thanks for stopping by — it means so much to share my creations with you! 💛
