Wee Stitch It
Wee Stitch It is owned by Rydia, a kid entrepreneur which they started at 8 years old after taking sewing lessons at Stitch Happens, a local fabric store. They focus on creating products to enable you to take your art project on the go such as their art and journal carry all line. These carry alls can be used for various crafts such as water colour, embroidery, cross stitch and sketch books.
A custom order to make a book cover, with built in bookmark and handles opened up more wonderful creations.
CUSTOM ORDERS
Wee Stitch It enjoys working with clients on custom projects. Often this is an opportunity to test something or learn (or design) a new pattern!
UPCYCLING MATERIALS
A foundational value for Wee Stitch It is to use remnant fabric or upcycle whenever possible. This includes making items such as bookmarks and price tags from the scrap fabric and threads.
DESIGN AND PROTOTYPING
Have an idea? Wee Stitch It often creates design templates as they go or modify a pattern. It can be a unique challenge to move from idea to sketch to prototype to final product!
Rydia will be teaching classes alongside their parent Rachel on sewing and upcycling items.
Cutie Patootie Studios
Cutie Patootie Studios is the creative catch-all for Stacey, a disabled artist and maker based in Chatham, ON. Stacey creates digital art, and then provides print and product offerings featuring her art, such as vinyl stickers, stationery, buttons, drinkware, tote bags and more! In short, she ‘draws all the things and then makes all the things’! If you have a specific request or need, Stacey LOVES making custom commission pieces, and she is passionate about working with fellow small businesses! At its core, Cutie Patootie is a celebration of all things cute and quirky, and is also a way for Stacey to call attention to the causes and identities that are important to her; LGBTQIA+ and disability rights, body positivity, neurodivergence, and being a beacon for the fellow softies of the world!
