Hi, my name is Janike and I am the mom, sewist and all around creative energy behind JannaNanna. JannaNanna is run in our home so I thought it is only fitting to introduce us all; pictured above is me and my husband - without his support and encouragement JannaNanna wouldn't exist. Together we have 2 young children who have both been cloth bums. Both are ever busy bodies in the sewing room, as you can see above and pictured on the far right is our main sewist and all around amazing human, Angella.

JannaNanna was born in 2018 after I had struggled to find cloth nappies which fit our really large boy. I decided to start sewing using the machine that my father had gifted me but which was unused in a cupboard. After not very long at all I realised that I absolutely loved sewing and making nappies and so decided to start this business. It took me about 6 months to set up what needed to be in place to run a small side hustle taking on small custom orders on our Facebook Group.

I am a self taught sewist, professionally trained in Visual and Fine arts as well as Graphic design. When you mix that all up you get JannaNanna.  I really do care for things which are beautiful, practical and well made and I try to bring that through in all aspects of the brand. I design some of our own banana prints which are 100% unique and locally printed and I edit all my sewing patterns so that they are unique to JannaNanna.

 

Till mid way through 2020 I was the only sewer and maker for JannaNanna but then brought on some much needed assistance. Angella has taken over most of the production jobs under close supervision, giving me room to focus on all other aspects of the business. We are still very much a small growing business and our customers have made the journey quite anamazing one.
