Behind the Stitches: My Crochet Journey
Welcome to the chaotic, yarn-tangled reality of my small business. Here is a little look at what goes into making your custom crochet buddies from scratch.
A little "what I make vs. how I look" moment. This video shows a collage of my finished products versus the reality of running a small handmade business.
People ask if I spend hours crocheting just for them to say "it's cute". The answer is yes, and it's always worth it.
A little relatable humor about the life of a small business owner. The support from every single person means the world to me.
About Behind the Stitches
Truth is, most of these cute results involve late nights, zero sleep, and accidental jugaad (quick fixes) to get the tension just right. Every custom plushie you see here started as a struggle, but honestly, seeing them come to life makes me forget the 3 AM yarn tangles.
People often ask if the hours spent are worth it for a single keychain, and the answer is always yes. When I am not dodging plans to finish a custom order, I am probably researching how to turn a random sketch into a 3D plushie. Being a small business owner in Mumbai is a rollercoaster, but that is what gives every piece its soul.
I do not rely on templates or factory-made patterns. Whether it is a 'Positive Potato' needing the perfect stance or a complex character plushie that requires a new pattern from scratch, I treat every project as a fresh challenge. I work with premium velvet and cotton yarns depending on the texture you need, and I ship these little buddies all over India.
If you have a wild concept, an inside joke, or a character that does not exist as a toy, I am all in. If you are tired of generic gifts and want something that actually has a personality, let us talk. Send me your photos or sketches and we can figure out the design together.
