Treefall
Isle of wight
Hi there! I’m Manda McGrory the designer/maker behind Treefall. I create all my creatures and clothing by hand in my studio on the Isle of Wight.
My inspiration for all my creatures comes from my own childhood obsessions with nature and birds, The Famous Five and the wild Dungeness coastline (where we had a family home). And in recent years by the incredible island I now call home.
Life on the island has not only led to the creation of the Treefall collection of creatures and clothing but also to my obsessions with surfing, skateboarding and running. Which means that when I’m not in my studio, I can be found surfing and enjoying a meal at the beach, in my beloved camper van (Gareth), or skating at Canopy, my local skatepark.
Proudly independent
A few favourite PIECEs
Hi! I’m Manda and I created Treefall back in 2007. Following an unusual career path that includes running away with the circus, training as a carpenter and working as a bank manager, I finally discovered my true passion for all things textile whilst expecting my first daughter in 2004.
With a love of modern quilting and a baby nursery to decorate, I started creating quilts, toys and clothing for my daughter Isabella. This quickly led to the creation of my Treefall blog, where I was lucky enough to connect with thousands of readers over the joys of craft and parenthood. And for over 15 years now I’ve been designing and making soft toys and children’s clothing, that sell world wide via retail stockists, design shows and her own website.
After losing my mother I moved my family (and my father) to the Isle of Wight in 2015, where we swapped big city living for life in a small village at the foot of the Downs, a mile away from the beach. I create all my creatures and clothing in my self-built studio that sits in a corner of my very overgrown garden. My constant inspiration can be found in the beauty of the countryside lanes and the coastal paths that I run daily with my dog Arlo.
