Welcome to Stitch Studio: my quiet rebellion against a mass-produced world.

From my home studio in Nottingham, I meticulously craft creatures, packed with character that celebrate retro childhood nostalgia. Using 100% wool felt, my process is slow and intentional. Every hand-cut piece and stitch is an act of intention, sculpting unique personalities from the inside out. These aren’t just decor; they are modern heirlooms and characterful keepsakes designed to nestle on your bookshelves or live among the branches of a seasonal tree.

Whether you’re a collector or a fellow maker, I’m so glad you’re here to share in this world of wool and whimsy. Keep in touch on Instagram or Facebook - @madebystitchstudio or madebystitchstudio@gmail.com

Hand-sculpted wool creatures: modern heirlooms with a touch of retro nostalgia for your favourite spaces. Slow-crafted in Nottingham.

I’m Kirsteen, the hands and heart behind Stitch Studio. I’m so glad you’ve found your way into my nostalgic world of wool and whimsy.

In a world that moves increasingly fast, where objects are often mass-produced and quickly discarded, Stitch Studio is my quiet rebellion. I slowly and meticulously craft creatures that are packed with character, they show the hours spent making them and the stories that inspired them.

My work is a love letter to the retro childhood nostalgia that shaped me - my love of animals, the fun of hand-me-down toys and memories of storybooks and cartoons. My mission is to create beautiful, handmade characters to bring you joy. They aren’t just decor; they are modern heirlooms, characterful keepsakes to be tucked onto a nursery shelf, nestled in a well-loved bookcase, or brought out year after year to live among the branches of a seasonal tree.

I work with 100% wool felt for its strength and sculptural possibilities and my process is slow and careful by design. My paper ‘patterns’ are merely a starting point; every hand-cut piece and stitch is an act of intention. I sculpt from the inside out, and as I place the final features, a unique personality - a little soul - begins to peek through.

In my home studio in Nottingham UK, I attempt to balance the busyness of family life with the quiet calm of my craft. Whether you’re a collector, a fellow maker, or just browsing, I’m so glad you’re here.
