Hello and welcome! I’m Jess, the creator behind Teacups and Bobbins, a boutique specialising in handmade children’s clothing. Let me tell you a bit about myself, and my store.

How It All Started

I started sewing children’s clothing about 5 years ago.
Buying clothes for my children has always been a source of frustration for me. Store bought clothes often don’t fit properly or shrink after washing. There are very few cute options for boys and the girl’s section is full of pink. That’s why I decided to start sewing my own children’s clothes – so that I could create cute, comfortable and unique clothing that can’t be found in stores.

Award-Winning Handmade Clothing

I will admit that the first things I made were not great, but I kept practicing. Fast forward to today, and my skills have definitely improved. So much so that I won first prize in one of the children’s dressmaking categories at the 2024 Sydney Royal Arts and Crafts Show, and this acheivement inspired me to take the next step and launch Teacups and Bobbins, where I offer small batch and one of a kind outfits.

What Makes Teacups and Bobbins Special?

There are so many reasons to choose handmade children’s clothing. I love the creative process so I don’t just make the same products over and over. My ready to sell garments are either limited stock or completely unique. I prewash all of my fabrics before sewing to avoid shrinkage and to remove any chemicals left over from the manufacturing process. My garments are good quality and are made primarily of natural, sustainable fabrics. I make everything myself so you can rest assured that when you buy my products, your money goes directly to my family and not to a large corporation with unethical production processes.
