My name is Tiina Hoddy and I started knitting and sewing when I was 6 years old and haven't stopped. When I was 8-14 I used to look after babies for relatives and neighbours. I also started making baby clothes for my own children when I was 15 so I have all ready when my son was born in 1981 and I was 24 years old. My daughter was born in 1983.
I studied to be a SEN- nurse in Finland and later qualified as Kindergarten teacher from the University of Sweden.
When I was pregnant, both of my children wanted to come early but with bed rest and medication, they were born almost full time. At that point I realised that there weren't any clothing for tiny babies... and the premature sets were born. This was in 1981!
Since then I have been designing and making beautiful fitting sets even for the tiniest babies.
When I worked at the hospitals, I saw the premature babies and knew then this was my calling. Now I work full time designing cute sets for premature babies as well as newborns and toddlers.

Nimeni on Tiina Hoddy and aloitin kutomisen ja ompelemisen 6 vuotiaana enka ole lopettanut. Kun olin 8-14 vuotias usein hoidin ystavien ja naapureiden lapsia. 15 vuotiaana aloitin vauvanvaatteiden tekemisen omalle vauvalleni joka syntykin vuona 1981 kun oli 24 vuotias. Tyttareni syntyi vuona 1983.
Suomessa opiskelin apuhoitajaksi ja myohemmin lastentarhanopettajaksi Tukholman Yliopistolla.
Vuonna 1981 ensimmainen lapseni paattikin etta haluaa syntya enne aikojaan ja sitten vuona 1983 tyttareni myos- mutta vuodelevolla ja laakkeilla molemmat saatiin pysymaan sisalla melkein loppuun saakka. Poikani syntyi vain 2.5 viikkoa aikaisemmin. Silloin tajusin etta nain pienia vaatteita ei ollut myynnissa.... ja keskosenvaatteet syntyivat. Tama oli vuona 1981!
Siita lahtien olen suunnitellut ja tehnyt kauniita istuvia asuja jopa pienimmille vauvoille.
Kun tyoskentelin sairaalassa ja nain keskovauvat, tiesin etta tama oli kutsumukseni. Nyt suunnittelen asuja koko paivaisesti keskosille, vastasyntyneille seka vahan isommille.
