A LITTLE ABOUT TIDDLETONS

A Little About Me ​

Hi, I’m Lucy! Welcome to Tiddletons. ​

Tiddletons originally started as a little bit of "me time"—a quiet way for me to stitch, sew, and relax. I am a mum to four beautiful girls. My twins were born extremely early at just 23 weeks, which resulted in my eldest twin having multiple complex medical needs. Leaving work to become a full-time carer for my girls was a big transition, but sewing became my therapeutic outlet, just as it had been since I was a child. ​

​

How Tiddletons Came to Be ​

It all started when my daughter needed a proper changing mat for a holiday. Looking around, I couldn't find anything on the market that was large enough, functional, and nice to look at. So, I pulled out my sewing machine and made one myself. ​I quickly realised that if we were facing this problem, so many other families were too. Sure enough, parents around us with special needs and disabled children began asking for them. From there, Tiddletons grew naturally as my daughter's needs, and the needs of the children around us evolved. ​The world around our loved ones can often feel clinical and grey. My mission has always been to bring bright colors, dignity, and joy into practical, daily medical care.

​Made at Home (With a Little Extra Help!) ​

Tiddletons isn't a factory or an impersonal warehouse—it's a small, home based business run with love right from my home craft room. ​When you order from me, you're supporting a real family business. I will often have an extra helper sat with me asking 'mummy what are we making today?' The girls love helping pick fabrics and each have their favourites. My home has recently gained two brand new team members: my two fluffy Maine Coon kittens!
