About Us

Willow Forest

Established in February 2021, Willow Forest was born from a love and lifetime of sewing. Hand sewing patchwork blankets grew into dabbling in making leggings and dungarees when I got my first sewing machine for Christmas 2019. Fast forward through 3 lockdowns and I was busy making clothing for all 3 of my children. 

I bought an overlocker and went on to trialing more detailed clothing, gathers, ruffles and adjusting sewing patterns to how I wanted clothing to sit on my children. 

I sold snoods locally through Winter 2020 and by that time I'd officially caught the sewing bug. 

The inspiration behind the name was a love for the beautiful image of a Weeping Willow Tree, my son's first school class being named 'Willow Class' and the very tall Willow Tree we have at the bottom of our garden. 

Our family have a great love of the outdoors, especially walking through woods and looking for magical creatures. It seemed perfect to name my fledgling business after things with meaning to us. 

The prints and styles you will see offered by us are painstakingly chosen and printed with only the best tried and tested printers. Most of our prints are exclusive to us, and therefore you won't find them anywhere else. 

All items are made to order, so if you want to personalize anything, add extra length to your leggings or a longer body on your dungarees it's always possible. 

Giving Back

I ensure our fabric scraps are used, whether this is by donating to local schools and playgroups for crafts or by making little items to gift.

We are parents of a tube fed child so we make a lot of tube pads, for both our daughter and to donate to local tube fed adults & children. Other medical adaptions are possible, such as access in our items and stoma bag covers. We're well versed in dealing with medical items such as Central Lines and very open to discussing your individual needs. Check out our Accessible Clothing area on the website for more info.

Our packaging is fully recyclable, right down to the stickers and tissue paper. We pledge to make our World a better and more sustainable place for our children and pride ourselves on being as waste less as possible.
