About

Hello, lovely souls! I’m Melanie, the dreamer and creator behind MellyMade. Welcome to my little haven, where vintage charm meets heartfelt craftsmanship. I hope you’ll find a spark of joy here to bring timeless beauty into your home.

Here I create fresh and functional quilts and bags from vintage cottons and wool blankets. These reloved textiles are given a second life, reducing waste while preserving their unique history and beauty. I honour their artistry while creating something one-of-a-kind, new and purposeful. Knowing these materials are repurposed rather than discarded makes each piece even more special, contributing to a more sustainable future.

My love for vintage began in childhood, wrapped in the warm embrace of old buildings that whispered stories of days gone by. Those moments shaped my heart and my craft, fueling a deep passion for all things vintage, upcycled, handmade, and homegrown. Alongside my incredible husband and our four beautiful children, I’ve turned this love into a business that’s as much a journey as it is a joy to share with you.

Every piece I create is a labour of love, crafted with care and intention. I spend hours handpicking the perfect vintage fabrics, dreaming up ways to transform them into quilted treasures that become the heart of your cherished spaces. Each item is unique, limited, and exclusive—because you deserve something as special as you are.
