The Face Behind Andrie Designs
Hi there! My name is Lisa and I’m the face behind the brand Andrie Designs (pronounced Anne-Dree; formerly two pretty poppets). Born and raised in New Zealand my husband and I, along with our two beautiful daughters, now call Queensland, Australia home.

Since my mum taught me to sew at a very young age, I have enjoyed the craft immensely and dabbled in all sorts of applications of it. Throughout my teenage years, I also seemed to develop a wee fascination with handbags and collected many…. Perhaps too many… 🙂
A few years ago, when our girls were quite young, I was looking for an insulated lunch bag pattern and after searching and searching, could not find what I was looking for anywhere. A friend suggested I draft my own and following that, then suggested I type the pattern up into a published document and see if anyone would be interested in buying it!

That was an experience in itself and a very big learning curve, but needless to say, things just grew and grew with more and more design ideas popping into my head, until I found myself well and truly established as a ‘pattern designer’.
At the start of 2017 I felt it was high time to change from my initial brand of two pretty poppets and undertake the exercise of re-branding to Andrie Designs (pronounced Anne-Dree). You can find out WHY I chose to re-brand, along with the meaning behind the name Andrie Designs, here.
And now, it’s onwards and upwards! I have sooooo many exciting ideas for you moving forward, and can’t wait to share them all!!
Fancy a sneak peek? Ok, just one… 🙂
