I'm Soumya, the maker behind A Bee in the Garden. What began with making pretty and useful things for my own home and family has grown into a catalogue of fabric products for everyday living, thoughtful gifting, little ones and fellow makers.
Our story began in 2019 with a love for fabric, a fondness for all things homemade, and the joy of making things by hand.
Back then, sewing and hand embroidery were things I enjoyed doing alongside being a stay at home mom. On a whim, I decided to list a few Christmas creations on my personal Instagram page.
The collection was entirely handmade, with everything coming together from a little corner of my study. It sold out much sooner than I had expected!
Since then, A Bee in the Garden has grown one small step at a time, all the while holding on to the homemade look and feel that have been part of us from the beginning.
A little about how we make things
We believe in the charm of handmade things and the care that goes into making them. We enjoy working with fabric, finding ways to bring together the functional and the aesthetic.
Our products are made in small batches, one piece at a time, with an emphasis on thoughtful details, good workmanship and everyday usefulness. We love drawing from old-fashioned craft techniques while creating things that feel right at home in modern-day living.
From home linen and everyday accessories to children's essentials and crafting companions, there is a little bit of everything that we love making. Today, our production happens through partnerships with women's upskilling NGOs in Bengaluru, along with trained tailors we work with on a need basis.
Whether it's our customers who welcome our creations into their homes or the skilled hands behind every product, we believe in keeping people at the heart of what we do. The relationships we build along the way are just as important to us as the things we make.
A Bee in the Garden continues to be a work in progress, shaped by new ideas, familiar fabrics, happy experiments and the people who make it all possible.
Thank you for being here and for making room for handmade in your everyday life.
With thoughtful stitches,
Soumya
