When I started my original graphic design company, I couldn’t think of a name. And then a friend said, ‘Duh! Designed To A Tee!’ So it has been for about 16 years.

When my son was born, almost 16 years ago, I was sent some knitting needles and yarn and I learned to knit. Welll, I technically already knew, but never did it much until 16 years ago.

And then I learned to crochet. And weave (which I also already knew, but it had been awhile). And spin. And I realised fibre liked me!

And so Knitted By A Tee was born.

But then? I started to make jewellery. Mostly for Pride. Oops, did I forget to mention I’m queer? Well, I am!

Once I started to add jewellery to my range, I needed a new name.

And here we are, Made By A Tee!

And in the shop here at MBAT you will find things I’ve made with my Cricut. A Cricut is a cutting machine. You design something, pick a material to make it out of, have the Cricut cut it out and then apply it to something else!

In my case, it’s t-shirts, tote bags, and pouches!

There are actually two shops at the minute. One here at madebyatee.com and one at https://folksy.com/shops/madebyatee.

I may shut down the Folksy shop soon. They don’t really like me as they don’t consider my Cricut designs as ‘homemade’. That’s why I made this shop!

So, thanks for reading. And have a look around! More items will be added to the shop as time goes on.
