The Zilly Mood Story

Our story begins with a mother’s love for sewing, a skill she learned from her grandmother. Life got busy, but she never lost her passion for creating. When her oldest daughter began struggling with anxiety, she remembered the calming effect that sewing had always brought her. After reading about the benefits of working with your hands, she thought sewing could be a perfect activity to share with her daughter.

They went out, bought a pattern and fabric, and attempted to sew together, but the sewing machine only added more anxiety. Switching to hand-stitching felt kits seemed promising, but cutting out paper patterns and fabric pieces proved tedious, and her daughter quickly lost interest. Realizing that the process needed to be simpler, she searched for pre-cut kits that could make crafting easy, but none met her needs.

Determined to create a better solution, she spent a year developing her own kits. The result? a line of pre-cut, beginner-friendly sewing kits that make creating fun and frustration-free. The first collection, Ma Petite Amie, a collection featuring Chloe, Sophie, Amelia, and Juliette. These kits came with pre-cut merino wool felt, clear instructions, and all the materials needed. They allowed beginners to dive straight into crafting without any of the usual hassle.

The kits became a hit, especially with those looking for a relaxing and satisfying experience. With this success, Zilly Mood introduced new collections like the Boo Crew, offering fresh, rotating designs to keep the creativity flowing. Today, Zilly Mood continues to make crafting fun and accessible, helping people of all ages discover the joy of handmade creations.
