''fun, colourful, gender neutral''
​
Hi I'm Lizzie, the maker (and everything else!) behind Lizziebug.

I started Lizziebug in 2015, having graduated from a degree in Costume Design a few years earlier and after leaving my teaching job (Costume Design and a Kids Sewing Club). I was quickly filling up my nieces' wardrobes with costumes and clothing and thought they couldn't be the only ones who wanted what I was making!
​
The red dinosaur leggings seen here (below) are what started the Lizziebug you see today - a request from a dinosaur-mad niece! The clothing available at the time was very gendered and lacked the colour and fun that kids' clothing should have. I set out with an aim to make beautiful clothing in gender neutral prints.
​
In 2018 I brought out my very first custom print - designed by me and printed here in the UK. Since then I've created five more plus two Christmas designs and there's no stopping me now!
​
I try to waste as little as possible - 2019 has seen my packaging go fully recyclable and fabric scraps are either sent on to those who can use them, or thrown on the compost!
​
At the end of 2019 I became an approved Let Clothes Be Clothes seller. LCBC are a grassroots campaign founded in 2014, calling for an end to the harmful gender stereotypes used in the design and marketing of children's clothes. For more information click here.
​
As well as the items in my shop, I also undertake custom orders. I love a challenge (and fabric shopping) so feel free to pop me a message if you have any specific requests!
