This week I have launched a new collection in my online store
is a gorgeous range of handmade items created by the lovely Louise.
I am really excited to be able to sell her lovely items and also help support another Mum with her business.
I asked Louise to share a little about herself and what she does.
Hi! My name is Louise and some of my favourite
things in this world is my family, sewing and giving and receiving gifts. This
is how Stitched Up With Buttons was created. I started sewing and making
handmade gifts for friends of mine, when they started having babies. I, like a
lot of others, wanted to give a practical, beautiful and meaningful present
that was not commercially made and environmentally friendly, but there was not
much out there. I created Stitched Up With Buttons and have been making baby quilts
for about 7 years.
I hand
make a variety of baby gifts, including outfits and flash books but I
specialise in baby quilts. All my baby quilts are unique; no one quilt is the
same.
All quilts are 100% cotton, using Cosy Cotton wadding and all new fabric.
My quilts and gifts are made in a clean, smoke free home. All my gifts are made
from high quality materials and are made to last, because as a mum, I know how
‘loved and used’ my gifts can be, so I want them to last and to be able to the
thrown in the wash when they need.
When
I am not sewing I am a mother of one gorgeous son, Tom, who was born in January
2012, and work part time in the public service in Canberra.
I use the quilt I
made for Tom everyday as a play mat. I am able to put him on the mat on the
floor and I not have to worry about dribble, throw up or ‘accidents’ getting
onto the carpet. If it gets grubby, then I just throw it in the wash and it is
as good as new.
I love sharing my passion for sewing and all things beautiful with others, and
after many people asking where they can buy my creations, I am proud to put my
quilts and gifts on Nellie’s website selling beautiful things. I hope you enjoy
my creations just as much as I love to make them!
I hope you love Louise's work as much as I do, these gorgeous quilts would make a really special gift for any new babies in your life. You can find out more about each one over in my store.
