Behind the Stitches: My Handmade Journey
Ever wonder who is behind the hook? Come see the real, messy, and rewarding process of running a one-woman crochet business from my studio in Mysuru.
The story of my first bulk order! So many people asked, so I wanted to share the journey of how I landed a 600-piece order.
It started with an inquiry from a clothing business for 300 keychains to use as freebies with their products.
Before confirming, they wanted to see a sample. I made one evil eye keychain and sent it over, hoping for the best.
They loved the sample so much they doubled their order to 600 pieces! This was a huge moment for me and my business.
A huge thank you to the customer who believed in me. This order kicked off 2025 in the best way possible for my business.
People say I have a lot of patience, and they're right! Crocheting is my therapy, and I can do it anywhere, even on a bus.
About Behind the Stitches: My Handmade Journey
Everything you see here is made by me, from start to finish, with absolutely no outsourcing. Because I handle every single stitch, I take on bulk orders in manageable batches of 100 to 120 pieces per month to ensure quality. If you have an event coming up, checking your timeline against these production limits is the best way to get started.
I started this journey in 2019 as a way to turn my crochet addiction into something more, and it has been a wild ride ever since. When you look at my gallery, you are seeing the result of hours spent with my yarn and my logbook.
The Reality of Handmade
There is no AI or factory behind these products. It is just me, my hands, and a lot of patience. This means every piece comes with a human touch, but it also means my production capacity is real and finite. For large orders, such as my recent 600-piece run for a clothing brand, I operate in scheduled batches.
Why This Matters for Your Event
Whether you are planning a wedding, a corporate event, or a birthday party, choosing handmade means opting for quality and intent over generic bulk items.
- Transparency: I share the process, including the time it takes to create each piece, so you know exactly what to expect.
- Customization: Because I make everything from scratch, we can tweak colors and themes to match your specific event vibe.
- Quality Control: No third-party outsourcing means I personally check every stitch before it is shipped.
Planning Ahead
Since I limit my output to ensure every keychain, plushie, or decor item meets my standards, I generally require 15 to 30 days of lead time for bulk orders. If you have an idea in mind, even if it is just a rough concept, reach out early. Let’s talk about your vision, look at the timeline, and see how we can bring it to life with yarn.
