Welcome to Jaffajaf Designs

Remember your mum sewing together an outfit for your cabbage patch doll out of a bit of scrap fabric?

Why do so many toys now days seem so mass produced and over marketed?

When I was little my Nanna made me some hand-puppets to play with. They were the same fabric as my Pop's pajamas! I loved that. They were totally unique and they were mine.

That's why I started making my own softies - for my cousins and my friends children. So that they could have a toy that was completely unique to them and didn't come with a movie tie-in and a matching lunchbox.

I continually collect pre-loved fabrics. From vintage prints to fabric off cuts, old clothes to bed sheets and table cloths.

I keep all my scraps (sorted into colour for easy access) so that I can always use every last square of fabric. Some of my designs require new fabrics (such as felts) and in those cases I look for Australian-made, locally produced textiles.

Take some time to look through my softies and homewares. As I've said they are all individual (I try to do something different with every toy I make) and I'm always adding new ideas.

I hope that my creations remind you of your childhood or let your children's imagination run wild.
