THE MAKER, SHANNON HIRAMOTO
My grandmother, Mildred Hiramoto, taught me to sew when I was 14. Our first project was a pair of shorts using her stash of vintage polyester fabric. Next we made carseat covers for my '69 VW Squareback. After that it was a flurry of sewing everything I could imagine. My grandmother passed in 2011 and I miss her everyday---sewing is one way to keep her spirit close and now Im passing the skill down to my 7 year old daughter Charli. I started my company/experiment called Machinemachine in 2007 and am continually excited about meeting customers and making things everyday!


Over the years I've become known for my obsession with mu'umu'u. I began #muumuumonth in January 2015 as a fun way to celebrate the historic and beautiful garment that is so special to Hawai'i. Ive also been documenting mu'umu'u that I and others come into contact with at TheMuumuuArchive.com
