Behind the Stitches: How I Create Your Custom Crochet Pieces
Peek into my Mumbai studio chaos, where late nights, endless yarn, and a little bit of 'jugaad' turn your wild ideas into reality.
A little "artist vs. art" moment. This video shows the contrast between the cute, polished things I make and the happy chaos of my creative process.
A peek at one of my pop up events at the Cat Cafe Studio in Mumbai. It was so much fun meeting customers in person and seeing them connect with my handmade Hello Kitty pouches.
This is for anyone who thinks crocheting is quick and easy. It shows a glimpse of the hours I spend with my hook and yarn to make sure every single piece is just right.
Watch me crochet what I jokingly called my most useless project ever. I used this pretty pink and white yarn to create a custom cover for a mini dustbin.
The final reveal of my crocheted dustbin cover. It was a fun, spontaneous project that proves you can add a touch of handmade cuteness to just about anything.
About Behind the Stitches
People see the cute end product, but the real magic is the process. Whether it’s crocheting a custom dustbin cover just for fun or spending hours on a detailed character plushie, I believe in making things that don't just look good, but hold a memory. Every piece you see here started as a messy sketch or a wild request from someone like you, and I’m always down to bring those 'impossible' ideas to life from my desk.
My process is rarely straightforward. It usually starts with a random thought, a lot of coffee, and whatever yarn is lying around. This cluster shows the 'before'—the late nights, the experiments, and the pop-up setups like my events at Cat Cafe Studio.
Why Custom Matters
I don’t just follow patterns. I live for the projects that make me sweat a little. Got a specific color palette in mind for a tote? Want a keychain that looks exactly like your pet? Bring it on. I treat every custom order as a challenge.
The 'Jugaad' Factor
Sometimes, the perfect tool isn't available, so I improvise. That’s the Mumbai way. Whether I'm finishing a bag on a flight or experimenting with a new stitch to get the structure right, I’m constantly learning.
What You Get
- Quality Craft: I use durable cotton and velvet yarns that hold up over time.
- Personal Touch: Every piece is handmade in my Mumbai setup. No mass production, just my hands and a crochet hook.
