Mailis Design - Mailis Kess
My passion and joy is creating something new, beautiful and practical from materials that have fallen out of use, something that delights the eye and warms the heart.
In my work I place great emphasis on quality and sustainability. I mostly sew from mass-production offcuts and materials sourced from second-hand shops (upcycled/zero waste), making handcrafted products for the home, the office, kindergarten, school and the gift bag.
Mailis Design products have supported many youth sports and cultural events, the scouts and our local village society, Tallinn Zoo, children with cancer, homeless animals, large families and more.

Stories and guides
Why do I use production offcuts in my sewing?
Certainly not because it is cheaper. It is the challenge of combining something splendid from given materials, and the good feeling of saving material headed for the tip.
Violin case repair
Last school year, I repaired my grandchild's violin case. The loops meant for attaching the backpack straps had torn off. She cycles to school, and it’s impossible to ride while holding the violin in your hand. Naturally, the violin and case, which belonged to the school, went back at the start of the summer. Now that the new school year has begun, she has been issued a school violin and case again, but this one is in even worse condition than last year's. So, I undertook the repair once more. This time, I decided to replace the entire back panel, including the piping, and cover the torn section at the end of the case with a leather patch. I used reflective tape for the top layer of the piping. The video condenses six hours of work into three minutes. If anyone finds themselves in need of a similar repair, I will be able to take on a few jobs starting in February 2027, and I can handle a few at a time during the summer break.
