Katipatch is owned by Sabi Limited a small family business.  Our names are Pauline and Dave and we are supported by a team of wonderful crafters.  For the last 16 years we have had a business manufacturing hand crafted teddy bears and soft toys.  For the last nine years we have had Bear Essentials an online store where you can buy everything you need to make your own teddy bear and soft toys. Together, our vision is to nurture creativity by providing crafters like you with an inspiring space, top-quality materials, and helpful guidance. We know this store has been an important part of the community and we want to keep that going.

I enjoy being involved with anything creative.  For more than 16 years we have been involved in the manufacture of soft toys.  In the community I am involved with Boomerang bags and enjoy going each fortnight to sew straight lines.  I am excited to learn many more creative practices with all I need to know about quilting and patchwork.

Hi. My name is Dale and I am an advert crafter, whether it be knitting, quilting, or slow stitching I am keen to give it a go. I love working at Katipatch.

Hi there, my name is Isla and I am just starting to do quilting. On the weekends and in school holidays I get dragged to the shop to help out.  I do enjoy being creative and help at boomerang bags.
