Kellie - Owner & Designer
Hello there!
I'm Kellie, the owner and designer of Kelobee. I love to design fabrics based on my personal likes and hobbies, fabrics that I feel worthy of my time to sew up into garments and accessories for my own daily use.
This shop has been a long time in the making, I have enjoyed designing fabrics for my own personal use for a few years now and for almost as long have been trying to build up the courage and carve out the time to actually bite the bullet and get my first few items listed and ready for sale, until now…
Throughout my designing process I have discovered that I have quite broad tastes, this is, therefore reflected in the designs listed for sale. Even the patterns that most would say are perfect for children’s clothing were designed with my own wearability and use in mind 🙂
My sewing history …
I have been sewing since I was a young girl, learning my initial basic skills from my mother who was a seamstress for many years, sometimes working on theatre costumes for the likes of Bonnie Langford and such. Over the years, my time has dipped in and out of sewing and crafting (time dependent), in recent years however, my sewing and creating has become a permanent fixture with my sewing projects ranging from curtains and bags to clothing and pet accessories. I would be truly lost without a creative project or some shape or form on the go.
