About Us (which is me, Jodie)
You know how some people start a business with a five-year plan and a whiteboard? Yeah, that wasn't me. RicRac was born out of the chaos of my old blog, Vintage RicRac, where I was drowning in requests for handmade toys. Now, instead of making the toys for you, I help you make them yourself—with a healthy dose of cheek, charm, and cursing.
RicRac is all about having a crack. We make sewing fun, fearless, and 100% accessible. Whether you're brand new to toymaking or just want to create something meaningful, weird, or wildly impressive, you're in the right place.
I'm a one-woman show. Every pattern is dreamed, stitched, unpicked, and fussed over by me. Every typo? Also me. I pack every parcel, hoard too much stuff, and talk to myself more than I'd like to admit. RicRac is loud, messy, and definitely your crafty bestie who always says, "Yeah, we can do that!"
My favourite makers are the rebels—the ones who toss in some sequins, swap a fabric, or slap a peacock feather on their softie. You're my people. I design for beginners, gifters, and anyone brave enough to make something with love (and a bit of mayhem). Crafting should never feel intimidating or exclusive. It should feel like hanging out in a community that gets you.
So if you're looking for a sewing space that's fun, inclusive, and never calls you "lovely" (cringe), come sit with us. There's always room for one more misfit at the RicRac table.
Welcome to the chaos. Let's make stuff.
