Katie Makes

Katie Makes. is a pandemic baby of sorts. When face coverings became mandatory, I knew that I wanted to provide an alternative to disposable masks, as the litter of discarded masks was impossible to ignore. After some trial and error, a perfect pattern emerged and mask production began! Using 100% cotton, and sourcing recycled thread where possible, Katie Makes. masks were made to be used, washed, and worn over and over again, to make sustainability hassle free and convenient. Katie Makes… does its best to Reduce Reuse and Recycle as much as possible. Waste is severely frowned upon, and it inspires even more creativity by finding ways to make use of every scrap of fabric. I've always been an artist in many disciplines, so I knew that my business could grow beyond masks (as hopefully we won’t need them too much longer!) and is continuing to do so. I’ve developed a love for upcycling and simply adore making unique items that are exclusive to Katie Makes… I follow the materials that I am inspired by, be it fabrics, paints, or clay. Katie Makes… is a showcase of craftswomanship and creation, and an accessible way to shop locally for beautiful, handmade gifts made from eco-friendly materials brought to you in eco-friendly packages. From stylish yet practical face coverings, to children's aprons constructed from upcycled materials, to a range of artwork in various mediums, there is no doubt you’ll find a gift to make you or a loved one smile.
