Hi, I’m Elina — a self-taught seamstress with over 10 years of experience creating unique garments. Sewing is more than my profession; it’s my passion and daily joy. I love to create pieces for myself, my family, and my clients, and I’m deeply grateful that my hobby has become the work I truly love 🖤
(ex. KidzAndCostume) is a small sewing studio creating vintage-inspired costumes, whimsical mushroom hats, and playful dinosaur outfits for children and grown-ups who love to dream.
This shop was born thanks to my son who was obsessed with dinosaurs at age 3. I made him a dinosaur tail, then the dino hoodie, and I decided to publish my first listing on Etsy. It all went successfully. From dinosaur tails to vintage-inspired corsets 🧡
When my 5th-grade English teacher asked what I wanted to become in the future - I said seamstress! A few years later my parents gave me a SINGER sewing machine as a gift for my birthday. I made my first strappy dress with ruffles for my twin sister's graduation at age 16. I am a self-taught seamstress - all the sewing wisdom comes from YouTube, with lots of patience and support from my family.

Love to create is my favourite saying - I cannot sit still and do nothing (only in case of a good movie). I like to crochet, knit, photograph nature with my cameras, I like to run, to go to the gym, travelling around the world, hiking, spending time with my family, I love gardening in summer (we have 4 seasons in Latvia), but most of all - I like to sew. I am so fascinated that I can make a garment from tiny pieces of fabric.
