What to know about My Mum Made It
Bed sheets became a business
Self-taught founder Nyree Leckenby started sewing dresses from thrifted sheets and curtains; the label's name is literally what she told strangers who asked where they came from.
Babydoll silhouettes, not basics
The house language is frills, ties, puff sleeves, bloomers and babydoll shapes, balanced by soft tailored separates — nostalgic cuts in a modern it-girl register.
Deadstock since 2022
The label has leaned on natural and deadstock fabrics since 2022, and stays founder-owned in Brisbane while selling through international retailers including END.
