I fell in love with sewing from a very young age! Like many other makers, I spent my childhood being inspired and encouraged by the people around me. Throughout school, I could often be found either in the sewing or art rooms. My passion to create led me to a post secondary education in Fashion Design and Garment Construction, where I graduated with a diploma after 2 amazing years. I went on to work in the bridal industry for a few years, before life and babies came along.

My days were then filled with diapers, feedings and sewing super hero capes, instead of fitting bridal gowns or making marvelous haute couture garments. It is here, in my everyday, that I found my true passion… creating for my children.

Lola Made was born out of this love. The first doll was a gift for my daughter's birthday; then it turned into a fun project to make dolls for all my nieces… I have 14!! My daughter is my sidekick and number one product tester, if she doesn't give each item a thumbs up then it's back to the drawing board.

Each doll is handmade by me, from start to finish. All patterns are designed, drafted, tested and created by me. I take care and time in creating each and every doll, using quality materials. They are made to be played with and loved by the children in your life.
