Hi, I’m Meghann Halfmoon — the designer and maker behind the PDF sewing patterns and handcrafted ceramics at halfmoon ATELIER. After a few years of selling finished products, I began offering my designs as sewing patterns in 2017 so that I could share my joy of making with others. More recently, I have been able to reintroduce pottery to my offerings.

 

Over time, life has taken some unexpected but beautiful turns. In 2021, after nearly two decades abroad (mainly in Amsterdam, and then the tiny Caribbean island of Saba), my family and I moved back to my hometown of Yakima, Washington — a place I never expected to return to, but now find myself appreciating in surprising ways.

I now teach high school 3D Art full time — helping young people discover their creativity through ceramics, a bit of sewing, and more. It’s meaningful work that I enjoy, but also a shift that has left me with less time for making in general. halfmoon ATELIER has therefore become a side passion project, as I believe deeply in the magic of making things with your own two hands. I’m very slowly finding a new rhythm — balancing teaching, creating, and rediscovering a connection to the place I grew up. While I may not be creating as consistently as I once was, the heart of this little business of mine remains the same: creating timeless, intentional designs that fit well in your lifestyle because making things by hand holds real value, both personally and globally.
