Dear makerist Community,

We are reaching out to share some important news about the development of makerist. After much thought and deep deliberation, we have made the incredibly difficult decision to close makerist as of April 1, 2025. This closure will affect all three platforms: makerist.com, makerist.de, and makerist.fr.

Over the years, makerist has been a place where creativity flourished. It has been more than just a platform — it has been a vibrant community where people like you could connect, learn, and find inspiration. Despite many wonderful milestones and tireless efforts to sustain this vision, we have come to the hard realisation that we can no longer operate makerist sustainably and economically over the long term.

As you know, due to necessary technical adjustments, makerist.com was placed into a planned downtime earlier. This downtime will now transition into permanent closure and will not be reactivated.

Please continue to take the following important timings into account:

- Starting on 29.01.25, it will no longer be possible to purchase patterns on makerist.com.
- To ensure continued access to your previously purchased patterns, we kindly ask you to log into My makerist until 11.02.25 to download your patterns.
- Beginning 12.02.25, makerist.com and the My makerist area will no longer be accessible.

We understand that this news may come as a surprise, and we want to emphasise that this decision was not made lightly. For many of you, makerist has been a space to explore your passions, discover new ideas, and share your creative journeys. Please know how deeply grateful we are for your trust, loyalty, and the creativity you have contributed to this community over the years.

This is not an easy farewell. But as we close this chapter, we want to express our heartfelt thanks for being part of the makerist journey. Your enthusiasm and creativity have been at the heart of everything we’ve done, and we are forever grateful to have shared this time with you.

We want to reassure you: makerist is not insolvent! We have consciously decided to cease our operations on March 31, 2025. Until then, you can continue shopping with us as usual, feeling confident and secure. Physical products can also be ordered until March 31, 2025, and will be promptly delivered to your home.

Our customer service team is here to assist you with any questions. You don’t need to worry – we’re still here for you and will guide you through this time with trust and reliability.

With deepest gratitude,
Your makerist Team
