Who is The Bea?​

Once again, another Thank You for taking time to read all about us.
me.and.the.bea started in my lounge, whilst wearing my dressing gown when I decided I did not
want to tidy up or hoover that night when The Bea was in bed!!
I was bought a sewing machine in 2012, I did the odd bit here and there and it was simply stored
away as life took over. I have always loved clothes, loved textiles, handmade items, designing and
creating. Anything hands on, I am there!!
I made my first little pinafore dress in May 2019, and I was hooked!! I love choosing fabric patterns, I
buy WAY more than I should, I feel I collect beautiful fabric like a hoarder and the way I just zone out
of real life when the machine is on is EPIC!!
The Bea. What a dream she is. She is my inspiration for this little business. It’s a cliché, but that little
face makes me smile every day. She’s witty, she’s cheeky, her facial expressions tell you exactly what
she’s thinking, she’s kind and she even shared her chocolate with me! She loves to be involved, I
hear her speak to her friends about ‘me.and.the.bea’, she requests little outfits herself and she loves
it when I get an order so I can buy her toys apparently (her words right now with a cheeky laugh!!).
Despite loving every single second of making a dress, a romper, a pencil case or a book pillow, I love
that I am showing The Bea to always believe in yourself. Never in a million years did I believe people
would buy things that I have made, but you have, and you do. I want her to know she can achieve
anything she wants when she tries and believes in her own beautiful self. Literally!
