Handmade for Kids: Softies by Maiike

The site was behaving badly yesterday and I didn’t know how to fix it. A bit stressful after having to spend so much time learning about WordPress and feeling like I know nothing useful when it comes to real technical problems.

Anyway, I remembered these gorgeous softies I saw once before and revisited the shop Maiike for a little visual (and imaginary tactile) comfort. Looking at these lovely creatures, all the stress has disappeared (almost, at least while I’m looking at them) and I’m dreaming of cuddling up in their ever so soft quilt blankets with some of the loveliest softies ever.

They are individual one-off pieces handmade using recycled woollen jumpers, you can almost feel the touch by just looking at it and sense the tactile sensibility of the designer. You can even order your own custom toys.

Maiike studio is located in North Melbourne and you can find them online here. Check out the gorgeous quilt blankets and cushions too. The way the previously worn materials are selected and handled with such care delivers an ultimate emotional comfort. We all need one. Even the grown-ups.
