Welcome to Sue Catt Creative…

home of unique clothing + homewares + artwork

inspired by the world and made in Australia.

One of a kind pieces for one of a kind people

All pieces are handcrafted with love and attention to detail by me, artist + designer + dressmaker Sue Catt
with my infectious passion for colour + textiles + art + design. I am a ‘fabric mixologist’.

I am influenced by my ever evolving collection of vintage and global textiles and the travel involved in sourcing them…though that’s been limited to armchair travel and internet purchasing due to Covid19, so hopefully will be able to go seeking fabrics near and far soon!! Yet I am happiest when creating and playing with colour and fabrics in my cozy home studio in beautiful seaside Port Lincoln, in regional South Australia.

A selection of my latest pieces…

Be the best version of yourself that you can be,

as unique, colourful and fabulous as possible....

let me help you!

 

Whether it's a one-of-a-kind colourful garment, a groovy cushion or set of coasters, or a luxurious silk scarf...I may have it in stock or can work with you to create a custom-made piece, so you can boldly show your personality and creative style.

My pieces are SLOW fashion at it's best, handcrafted using eco-friendly, sustainable materials sourced from around the globe so that when you own a SueCattCreative piece you will be joining me in sharing stories of the world.

This pic came up as a 10 year old memory on FB today. Silk painting in my friend Gebs studio. Gosh I miss this, was so much fun to splash colour around! Time to renovate my shed so I can do this again, in my own creative space. Look at that smile on
Remember squishing paint thru folded paper when you were a kid? I had a time a few years back doing it...so much fun! The resulting butterfly prints turned into tshirt designs with inspirational quotes. They sold out...so I'm now bringing them back.

Love getting creative and individualising my packaging. Not only a one of a kind garment but a one of a kind paper bag to put it in! And it gets me away from the sewing machine for a bit...relaxing but still playing with colours!!
