Stitch It Mom

Stitch It Mom is a small business I have created so I am able to be at home with my children and family. I had been struggling with the thought of getting back into the work field and having to spend less and less time with my loved ones. Like most Mothers we wish we could stay home with our children until they head off to school at the age of 4 but for most of us this is not financially possible.

I have a history in the design field and attended school for interior decorating. Designing is one of my passions, but it is an industry that requires days and evenings and at times dropping out with the kids on weekends. I wanted to be able to create a business that I could grow in time and be able to share it with my family and to be able to teach my kids how to operate and maintain a small business. Teaching my children responsibilities and to always follow their goals and aspirations. I wanted them to understand work doesn't always suffer to be the Monday to Friday, the 9 to 5 grind. You can find a job to thrive and succeed at and love every instant of it. To find something you truly enjoy doing and fall in love with it!

The history behind my custom pillows started with my daughter Lillian. I was forever struggling to find a small, comfortable pillow to place under my arms while feeding her to ensure her head was comfortable during the long feedings. Travelling was also an issue, it had to be diminished enough that could fit in my diaper bag or purse BUT also having a pattern that was attractive or matched our outfits, almost like an accessory. It was too difficult to find pillows to match Lily’s' nursery. If I did see a beautiful pillow is was way out of my maternity budget. So if you send me a picture of the colours, theme of your nursery or your child’s room, I will do my best and recover the perfect pillows to match.

Lillian is now older and again I needed to find her something to rest her little head on while driving. I know all you Moms can relate to the stress of looking in the rear view mirror and seeing their little ones' heads flopped forward in an uncomfortable posture. I have made these pillow small, super fluffy and delicate and of course I have picked a design that kids and babies will LOVE. Your child will hold onto that pillow the entire day as my daughter does. Lily runs around the house with her pillow like it’s a prized doll or toy, soothing her like a blanket. I found the pillows are educational as well my daughter will point at the pictures and will say them out load helping her to learn different words and actions.

We believe in community involvement so a percent of my profits will be given to the CHEO Children’s Hospital. We will also provide pillows to long term children at CHEO in hopes of spreading smiles on children’s faces. Helping kids feel loved and attempting to get them something to soothe them in a time of need.

These pillows were inspired by my children and I hope your children will love them just as much as mine.
