Meet the Seller: Melina Baby

I would like to introduce you the lovely Melina from Melina Baby. She is a regular of the handmade family. You must check out her gorgous knitted hats and beautiful dresses when you come on Saturday.

1.      Who is Melina Baby?

Me, Melina Amos.

2.      Tell us about your business name?

I couldn’t think of a brand name so thought I’d just use my name. Melina is a Greek name meaning “Honey”

3.      How did you become Melina?

I have always sewed, my mother had her own label and workroom when I was growing up and I wanted to be just like her. I used to make my dolls clothes and some interesting garments for myself. As an adult I started making soft soled leather baby shoes for friends and it all grew from there. I have an addiction to fabric so my little business is a great outlet for me.


4.      What do you make?

Designer children’s wear

5.      What your favourite product and why?

My bamboo cloth nappies. I am really passionate about cloth nappies. I started making nappies when a friend asked me to make some with some changes to what was on the market. When I had my daughter I changed my pattern again because she is quite big and I needed a one size fits all that could fit her past 8 months (none of the other brands did) but would also fit little wee ones. I have had the most amazing reviews and feedback about my nappies.

6.      What inspires you, when you design your products?

Functionality. All my products are beautiful but I wanted each and every one of them to be really useful and I also wanted them to last.

7.      What’s currently on your dining table?

An iron, a cold cup of tea, a sketch book and a draft of my latest pattern – a women’s dress.

8.      Where do you work from?

I do my knitting and designing in the lounge/dining area in front of the telly, I sew in the garage, it’s the biggest room in the house and I don’t have to worry too much about keeping it tidy.

Melina Baby is offering her Boys T-shirts for just $25 for Saturday Market ONLY

Looking forward to seeing you on Saturday 10am til 2pm, Kaurilands School, 109 Atkinson Road, Titirangi 1064

Meet the Seller: The Little Card Factory

I would like to take this time to introduce you to a very talented young lady, Emma. She offers you some of the most original cards I have seen in a long time. You can even purchase cool, funky note books plus awesome wrapping good too....

So read on and get to know her a little better....

1.      Who is The Little Card Factory?  Just me for now.  Originally from the UK, I moved to NZ in 2008 to finish my Visual Arts degree, I fell in love with this beautiful country and decided to stay.

2.      Tell us about your business name? My mum always encouraged me to make cards when I was younger, she called me ‘her little card factory.’  When I told her I was making cards again, she ended an email with ‘Lots of love my little card factory’ and that’s when I decided it had to be my business name.

3.      How did you become The Little Card Factory?  I’m sure it would be from my mum encouraging me when I was younger, but it wasn’t until I made my man a Valentines card in 2011 that it started to take form.  He asked why I wasn’t making more, and so I started making some and attended my first market in July 2011.

4.      What do you make?  Cards, cards and lots more cards!!  I have other little products available at markets, such as gift tags, and have just started making gift wrapping kits, but my main focus is cards.  They are all typed on an old typewriter, I think this makes them so unique, each one is special.

5.      What your favourite product and why?  I would have to say my favourite card is the ‘Tucked inside this card, is love from afar’ with a map of NZ.  It was one of my first cards, and is so popular. 

6.      What’s currently on your dining table? A mess!!!  I have had a very productive couple of days with the launch of my gift wrapping sets.  There is bakers twine, gift tags, string, paper, my laptop, my light box, pens, pencils and everything in between!! 

7.      Where do you work from?  I work from home, at the table.  I dream of the day that I get my own space that I don’t need to clean up at the end of the day, my own personal crafty den!
