As a kid, I was obsessed with plushies! I loved all their textures, shapes and little faces. I sewed a lot at a young age by hand and on the machine. I started by sewing hats and costumes, collecting fabrics and creating my own designs!
I love crafting tigers, dragons, dogs and new creatures I make up!
Now that I have Bandits, I can combine my love of animals and sewing. Creating my ideas into comforting, cute plush toys is a dream come true. I wouldnβt ask for any other life! Itβs 24/7 for me, but it is so fun!!
My goal for Bandits is to spark creativity and joy as well as bring a sense of safety and healing for people of all ages.
I adopted a little bunny plush when I was transitioning through a hard time in my life several years ago. Bun Bun is still with me! But having a plush to change my mindset into a more childlike, happy place was transformative.
Bandanas have also always been a comforting thing to have with me either wearing it or in my pocket! My two pups always have one on. Thats when Bandits was born!
Bandits wear bandanas for protection, love and comfort on their travels!
Thank you for the kind words, comments and pure joy that radiates in this community.
Stay Soft, everyone!
