About Teddy

I decided to take up sewing on a whim… and I am so happy that I did!

After years of being a primary school teacher, and then having my children, I decided that I needed a creative outlet in my life. So, with my 18 month old sitting on my lap, I impulsively purchased a sewing machine online. When it arrived I realised I didn’t even know how to set it up… So I started sewing lessons at Studio Thimbles in Subiaco. It changed my life!

Then, more recently, I realised that I love sewing for men. I pondered over why this was for a while; why am I making all these shirts for men instead of making beautiful clothes for women and, more importantly, for myself!?

When I laughed about this to my friend and asked her what on earth was wrong with me, she said ‘no I totally get it, it’s because men’s clothes are so boring!’

Lightbulb moment! To me (the ultimate colour crazed rainbow lover) men’s shirts generally are so boring. So I decided to introduce a bit of colour and originality into the world of men and their shirts.

Along the way, I also designed a more adult friendly take on kids play pouch toy storage bags; my version is called the Picnic Pouch! It’s a lightweight, water resistant, insulated picnic bag that can be easily stored with your other bags for quick accessibility! Since designing and making this bag, I literally take it everywhere with me and find it very durable and family friendly.

So, for now I am offering these two products, but I plan to roll with my creativity and see where the journey takes me! I will add new products along the way.

Thank you for your support in this exciting endeavour.
