Hello, I'm Kylie!

I started knitting and sewing as a child, with my grand-mothers and aunties patiently teaching me how to knit, and my Mum trusting me with her much-used sewing machine. I started creating small toys and then sewing clothing as I got older. My interest in knitting was rekindled by my late mother-in-law who taught me how to produce wonderful cable patterns - after that, nothing could stop me!

Since then, I have enjoyed making clothing for my own children, who inspire me daily. Well designed, simple garments made from quality fabrics were the favourites that were worn over and over again and survived many many hours of tree climbing and exploring. It's these clothes that have become the basis for my shop range.

Good handmade clothing, like good food, relies on skill and quality materials. I make all of my items skilfully with great attention to detail using the best quality materials, so you can be assured of a great product.

I use natural fibres with an emphasis on organic and sustainable materials and low 'fabric' miles where possible - often a challenge in Australia! Fortunately we have a growing number of local fabric designers and some beautiful organic wool.

A portion of my sales every month is donated to wildlife, environmental and social justice groups which work to help make our world a fairer place for all.
