About Us
Born and bred in Sweden, Clara Johansson started Bon Patterns to pursue her passion of making beautiful things with her own hands, and passing this joy onto others. She started sewing her own clothes at aged 7 so became very familiar with a needle and thread. This early interest blossomed at school and she went on to study fashion design in Sydney whilst living out there. After moving back home, she went on to further her studies in fashion technology which lead to her working in the fashion industry for number of years. Whilst this was interesting, Clara felt that her passion of creating with her own hands has disappeared and so she launched a soft toy brand called Studio Bundis. Making these adorable toys lead her to Bon Patterns, where she can now share her passion for sewing and designing with others from around the world, and encourage their own love for this craft.
So far, Bon Patterns has been so fulfilling for Clara. She was able to take it from a side business to quitting her day job and running Bon Patterns full time. With new designs coming all the time, we hope to grow Bon Patterns and encourage our followers to keep making and sending in pictures of their beautiful works of art. Messages like this are so rewarding and Clara loves knowing the pleasure that has come out of her designs.
We thank you so much for all of your support!
