My Journey: From Sewing Prom Dresses to Upcycled Clothing Creator
Ever been drawn to the charm of a thrift store? The allure of stories hidden within pre-loved clothes? I certainly was, and still am!
Hi, I'm Katelyn Martin, and I turned this passion into a thoughtfully curated children's clothing line.
Following the Dream: Introducing JuneJuly
Dreams often start as a tiny spark. For me, it was the intersection of my love for sewing, sustainable fashion, and the joy of motherhood. This is how JuneJuly was born - a one-of-a-kind children's clothing brand using responsibly sourced materials.
Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve had a love affair with the world of fashion. I spent my childhood entranced by episodes of Project Runway, creating mood boards from magazine cutouts, and envisioning the endless possibilities that fashion held. I designed and sewed my own prom dresses in high school, and there was even a time when I considered pursuing fashion design as a career. Little did I know, this early passion would be the thread that stitched my future.
As time passed, my interests matured and evolved. I started to appreciate the value of sustainable fashion and how it intersected with my love for sewing. And then, the arrival of my beautiful toddler, Mavis, brought children's clothing into the mix.
That's when a seed of an idea began to sprout - what if I could combine these passions and create a brand that emphasized sustainability, repurposing unwanted items into fashionable, fun pieces? This idea was the start of JuneJuly.
The Heartbeat of JuneJuly: Repurposed Clothing and More
JuneJuly isn't just another name in the vast sea of baby clothing. It's an environmentally-conscious venture with hopes of turning unwanted, landfill-bound fabrics into trendy baby rompers, and more. Each piece is handmade, ensuring your little ones get a unique, stylish ensemble.
Making a Difference: Sustainable Children's Fashion
Sustainable fashion is the future, and we at JuneJuly are doing our bit to contribute. By repurposing pre-loved fabrics and sourcing organic fabrics from family owned shops, we're not only making cute kids' outfits but also helping our planet.
At JuneJuly, our mission extends beyond creating adorable outfits for children. We are committed to reducing waste and promoting a more sustainable future. By focusing on thoughtfully sourced materials being made into stylish attire, we are turning potential waste into cherished wardrobe favorites. In doing so, we hope to inspire others to join us in the fight against fast fashion and for a healthier planet.
