Hi, I'm Belinda, welcome to The Wiggle Tree.
I started designing and making the products you see here about 3 months into my maternity leave. My little one is a huge dribbler and I hated covering up her cute little outfits with ugly bibs. So I got online, brought some beautiful Japanese fabrics, and I created some funky bibs that could keep up with her flow. Everything else has developed from there.
My background is in Bridal design. I worked in this industry for over 10 years, both in Australia and the U.K, as a designer, pattern maker, product developer, machinist, and anything else you can imagine. Surprisingly, some bridal couture techniques have come in very handy in creating parts of my collection :)
My main aim is to create useful and essential products using natural and organic materials, and most importantly, they have to look fantastic! So I spend a lot of time sourcing gorgeous fabrics, from both Australian and overseas designers, because I think practical should still look awesome. I have a massive obsession with hand screen printed fabrics, and I especially LOVE what our very talented Australian Designers produce!
Everything in my collection is made with great care, to a standard any perfectionist would appreciate. My little girl (The Wiggle) is my inspiration, and the amazing fabrics I find, bring my designs to life. I love creating new things for my store, and I hope you enjoy browsing through it.
All of my products are available for purchase through my madeit store, and if you 'Like' my Facebook page, you'll be kept up to date on The Wiggle Tree's adventures!
Cheers, Belinda.
