The SewMe Story
Hello everyone! I am Sumi, the founder of SewMe.
What started in late 2016 as a simple attempt to make a soft, cuddly dinosaur for my younger son has grown into a journey I could never have imagined.
Unable to find the kind of thoughtfully designed, soft toys I was looking for, I decided to make one myself. A few dinosaurs became gifts for friends, those gifts led to requests, and slowly, SewMe grew from a hobby into a business.
Nearly ten years on, SewMe has travelled a long way — from craft markets and corporate events to local stores and international shops. We’ve created countless custom dolls, including our much-loved look-alike dolls, and had the privilege of bringing a little bit of joy to families across the world.
We’re especially proud to have introduced some of the first brown-skin fabric dolls to the Indian market, because we believe children deserve dolls that look like them and celebrate who they are.
Today, our dolls are designed not just to cuddle, but to inspire imagination and storytelling. With clothes, handbags and other accessories, children can dress their dolls, create characters and make playtime their own.
Behind every SewMe doll are skilled hands, thoughtful design and a whole lot of love. Our work also provides meaningful livelihood to the women who help bring these little characters to life.
After almost a decade, the heart of SewMe remains unchanged:
We make dolls to be loved, played with, and treasured — little companions that bring joy, spark imagination and become part of childhood memories.
Thank you for being part of our journey. ❤️
Black Lives Matter!
Isn't this a great way to instill diversity in kids at a very young age? We made a special shipment of SewMe dolls for a store in Colorado Springs, USA earlier this year.
Customised Dolls for special little people
A grandchild child living in an other country has these customised grandparent dolls to keep her company. This is just one of those many special stories that we have played a part in. We love to customise, but only if we get enough time ;-)
Accessories.
Little dolls. Big wardrobes. Lots of imagination.
Our SewMe friends now have their very own collection of outfits and accessories — costumes, bags, bedding, baskets, hairbands and more!
Because dressing up your best friend is half the fun.
