Makers Monday: While Darcey Sleeps

Makers MondayNo commentsJune 3, 2021Claire

Today we chat to Karen of While Darcey Sleeps to find out a bit more about her super cute crochet creations!

Please introduce yourself and your brand….

Hi, I’m Karen from While Darcey Sleeps and I design and make crochet toys.

 

How would you describe your style and your products?

I am heavily influenced by kawaii – the Japanese word for cute! My products are mostly mythical creatures but I also do crochet commissions that are more realistic.

I love my job because of the reaction that my makes get! I love it when customers send video or pictures of their purchases being received.

Do you have a best seller or favourite to make?

My Meghan the unicorn is my favourite, I have made hundreds of versions of it including cake scented.

What are your plans or ambitions for the future?

I would love to develop patterns and kits, plus I have a children’s book I would like to write featuring Darcey and some of the creatures I crochet.

Sum up your brand in 3 words…

My three words are safe, unique and cute.

Do you have a motto or favourite quote for inspiration?

I don’t have an inspirational quote but most days I say it’s time for coffee and world domination!
