Our story
I'm Kathy Creech, the maker behind Fabri-K-Tions. In my sewing room in Louisville, Kentucky, I design and sew cloth dolls, softies, bags, notebook covers, door knob hangers and plenty of little extras.
Everything here is cut, stitched and finished by me, one piece at a time. When you open a Fabri-K-Tions piece, I want it to feel like it was made just for you, because it was.

How it started
The start
I've always had a passion for fabrics and threads. I sewed my own clothes as a young adult, and I've made my share of wedding and bridal party dresses.
Slowing down
My mind has always run faster than my body could. Working with my hands is how I focus my thoughts and slow down enough to enjoy life. I started with cross-stitch, then moved on to wall hangings, broom covers, basket lids and towels.
Today
Then I learned embroidery and quilting, which let me make more detailed patterns and designs. What began as a hobby at my dining room table is now a part-time job in a spare bedroom of our home. Most days from 4:30 to 7:00 pm, you'll find me in the sewing room. One day I'd like sewing to be my full-time work.
The difference
01
Some designs are all mine, and some start from a pattern I love. Either way, I pick every fabric and add my own touches, so no two pieces come out the same.
02
Each piece is cut, sewn and finished in Louisville, with names and details stitched on my embroidery machine.
03
Want it in your colors or with a name added? Most pieces can be made to order, and names on doll uniforms and notebooks are just $5.
In embroidery, work is counted by the thousand stitches. Every piece I make takes plenty of them, and every one is worth it.
Thank you for letting me bring joy and color to your world when you take home one of my pieces.
