About
Welcome to Katy Rose Bespoke Clothing, Accessories and Keepsakes.
I am Katy, a farmers wife and a stay at home mum to our two gorgeous boys, three dogs and a cat.
I have always loved sewing and achieved high levels at both GCSE and A level. At one point I even wanted to be a wedding dress designer! I continued to sew throughout university making fancy dress costumes for myself and friends. Sewing then took a bit of a back seat, working full time as a Science teacher and being married to a farmer all of my spare time was used for other things. Until I became pregnant in 2016, I decided to make an appliqued blanket, curtains and cushions for the nursery and my love for sewing was reborn.
When my first born was about a year old I decided I wanted to make a memory bear with all of his special clothes. I was drawn to an Elephant pattern and decided I would give it a go! After a few practice attempts I decided I would be brave and cut up his special clothes to make my first ever Patchwork Memory Elephant.
From there..
After receiving such positive feedback for my Elephants I began taking orders. I was inspired, I wanted to strive to achieve more. This, along with my youngest potty training himself early and not being able to find pants to fit him (he needed age 6-12 months as he has a tiny waist) pushed me to branch into making clothes.
I have always struggled to find clothes to fit both of my boys as they are both tall with a slim build. So Katy Rose Bespoke Clothing was born.
Now I do not have to worry about buying clothes to fit them, I can make them both bespoke items that fit their body shapes perfectly.
​
I also find it hard to find long enough tops for my torso, and long enough leggings for myself, so I began making adult clothes too!
​
My website offers a range of adults and children's clothes in which with your measurements I can make a truly bespoke and well fitting item.
​
If you would like something made I currently don't offer on my website, please get in touch as I am always happy to help where I can, and expand my clothing range
Since then....
After meeting and becoming good friends with Susan from Kington Grange, she encouraged me to think about starting to teach others to sew. After a lot of inspiring chats with her I finally took the plunge and organised my first ever sewing workshop held at the stunning location, Kington Grange, in Claverdon.
​The first workshop was a huge success and gave me the confidence to organise after school classes for children and adult evening classes.
​​
Myself and Susan, now run three successful primary school and secondary school termtime classes,and a weekly adults class. As well as very successful holiday sewing classes for children.
Vision
I want to share my love of bright and bold unisex prints to make beautiful bespoke clothes for adults and children.
I want to help people who struggle to find gorgeous and well fitting clothes for themselves or their children.
I want my customers to enjoy shopping for clothes, by providing a bespoke service with an exceptional level of customer service.
​
I want to teach the next generation the valuable skill of sewing as well as inspiring them to enjoy such a great hobby.
Collaboration
I am passion about reducing waste as much as possible, along with making facewipes, a lot of my small peices of fabric get used in our sewing classes by children and adults.
