Featured Vendor - Kayteedids Couture

This week I am featuring another amazing vendor. As most of you know, I am having a baby in September and I was asking my twitter friends to suggest some great vendors. Kayteedids Couture was one of the names mentioned. As soon as I looked at her products, I was instantly in love and wanted to purchase them all! Kayteedids Couture is definitely worth checking out.

Here are a few of my favorites:

Playmat in Hooty Hoot

Blankie in Sweet Pea

Nursing Cover with Pocket

Q&A with Kate:

Why did you decide to start your own business?

My mom taught me to sew at a young age and I love carrying on that talent from her. When I had my daughter in 2009 my eyes were opened to the world of fun things to make for babies and moms! It started as me just making blankets for my own little girl and nursing covers for me but then people started placing orders and encouraged me to start an online shop! I love knowing that little ones are snuggled up with a Kayteedids Couture blanket somewhere out there!

What exactly does Kayteedids Couture entail?

I make 3 types of Baby Blankets:

· The Loop Lovey is 18”x22” with 8 fun ribbon loops attached for twiddling, chewing, and carrying!

· The Lovey is 18”x22” and is perfect for the carseat or stroller!

· The Blankie is 36”x36”

I also carry nursing covers that have been designed by me during my 19 months of breastfeeding and dealing with the flaws in store bought covers. A Kayteedids Couture nursing covers is larger, reversible, and can be thrown in with you normal laundry! No “laying flat to dry” because of plastic boning!

I also love to make boutique hairbows but I do this by request only. I can make a custom bow to match any outfit your little girl needs an accessory for!

I offer custom options for all of my items ranging from the customer beings hands off to being completely involved in the creative process.

What advice do you give to other female entrepreneurs?

It’s okay if you have “too many ideas”. Play around with all of them and you’ll find your niche. Your work should feel comfortable and you should look forward to working on your projects!

What are 3 things people don't know about you?

1. I don’t like bendy straws! They’re never in the right place when I want to take a sip!
2. My drink at Starbucks is a Grande 6 pump Vanilla Latte, No Foam, With Whip and 145 degrees. That or, a Grande Iced Tea, Half Black Tea, Half Passion Tea, Extra Sweet. High maintenance you say?? Only at Starbucks!
3. When I turned 15 my dad said I could have a horse or a car…I chose a car. So my dad and I built a 1972 Volkswagon Bug from scratch. My license plate was KATESBG and we called him Herbie.

Thanks Kate!!
