About Mom Made
About.
Mom Made didn’t start as a brand idea. It started the way most long-term work does — by making things because they needed to be made.
More than 20 years ago, I started BabyHawk, a soft-structured baby carrier company built out of necessity, curiosity, and a lot of sewing. What began as a small idea grew into a full business, carried by families all over the world. I ran BabyHawk for years before eventually selling it, but the work itself never really stopped.
I’ve spent decades sewing, building products, running production, and figuring out how things should be made so they actually work in real life.
That photo is from 2015 — life in motion, kids growing, everything loud and full. Making things was already part of my daily rhythm then, even when it wasn’t the center of my work.
The Next Chapter
Mom Made is the next chapter.
This time, the focus is clothing — specifically coats made from quilts, blankets, and reclaimed textiles. Some are vintage. Some are mass-produced materials given a second life. All are chosen for how they wear, not how they photograph.
I make coats the way I think clothes should be made: small runs, honest materials, clear construction, and no unnecessary extras. They’re unlined because they don’t need lining. Seams are serged because durability matters. Fit and function come first.
Some pieces are one of one. Others come from a limited run. When the material is gone, that’s it.
This is us now. Older, different, still moving forward.
Mom Made exists in the middle of real life — between family, work, and making something solid with my hands. It’s not about trends or nostalgia. It’s about using what already exists and making it useful again.
What Matters Here
Experience matters. I’ve spent decades sewing, running production, and building things that people actually use.
Materials matter. I work with quilts, blankets, and reclaimed textiles because they already exist and already work. Fiber content varies. Wearability doesn’t.
Construction matters. Coats are unlined because they don’t need lining. Seams are serged because durability matters more than decoration.
Longevity matters. Some pieces are one of one. Others come from small runs. When the material is gone, production ends.
Nothing here is made to chase trends. It’s made to be worn, lived in, and used without overthinking it.
