Our Story
Hi! I’m Alyona, the maker behind BusinkaMania. My journey started with a simple sewing machine, a lot of curiosity, and a dream to create beautiful things from scratch. Over the years, I fell in love with lingerie making — not just for how it looks, but for how empowering and personal it feels to make something that truly fits you.
I started this blog to share everything I’ve learned: sewing tips, creative ideas, resources, and real behind-the-scenes moments. I believe in slow, intentional making — and in supporting other sewists through honest, relatable content. Whether you’re just starting out or already obsessed with fabric, you’re in the right place.

I love it
I’m obsessed! This pattern was easy to follow thanks to the video tutorial. These bikini bottoms are like nothing I’ve ever seen in stores. It looks like expensive, designer swimwear. I’ll be the cutest girl at the pool this summer ☀️
Beautiful pattern and great instructions!
It was my first time sewing a bralette, and it was more easy than I thought thanks to the step by step explanation video! The pattern is very easy to understand and fits very well and you can play with the fabrics and lace to make a beautiful lingerie.
Absolutely The Cutest Suit Ever!
The Rivera swimsuit went together in under an hour with the holdover elastic suggested in the YouTube videos. Sizing was easy as well as construction. Swimwear is my favorite thing to make. I took pictures and I can share them.
