Mama Made makes children’s clothes and gifts with love. Whenever possible, we try to use organic and/or fair trade textiles for our products. We are also big fans of vintage fabrics for unique items or custom made orders. Making new clothes from your old ones or pimping a plain t-shirt with a simple but very cute idea makes it special – to you and to your child. Haven’t we all got that one very sp
ecial item from our childhood? Mama Made would be proud to create something like this for your loved ones. For Sonja, Mama Made had already begun in 2009. Spending the first year at home after her daughter’s birth, she realised the impact a child has on one’s life and the beautiful changes it brings. She never believed for a moment that returning to her work life would be unsatisfying but priorities had shifted and dreaming about working on her own projects began to take over. Realising that much of the baby and children’s products available were a little clichéd and overpriced, she started to create and sew them herself. Her first pieces were a little rough though not without a charm derived from love and uniqueness. Through books and Youtube videos, she continued to teach herself to sew and met other mums doing the same thing. From here, the idea for a label that would provide products ‘made by mamas’ took off. Who knows children’s tastes better than mamas? Who knows mamas’ tastes better than mamas? How about creating a brand that is valued purely because it is ‘Mama Made’? And so, ‘Mama Made’ was born though not yet ready to stand on its own feet. It took another four years, daughter number two, moving countries, countless self-made projects, presents for friends and orders from people who had heard about Sonja’s work before she could make her dream a reality. Please get in touch with us if you would like to know more about Mama Made, we would love to hear from you!
