Who is Fat Tomato Designs? Hello, I'm Julie, the designer & creator of all things Fat Tomato Designs. If it's from Fat Tomato Designs it was made by me.
Where is Fat Tomato Designs located? I live & work in one of the most beautiful places in the world- the Driftless area of South West Wisconsin. When I'm not sewing, I'm farming. My family & I raise 100+ heritage breed sheep year round on our 47 acres here in South West Wisconsin. We also amuse ourselves with four dewlap Toulouse geese & 18 heritage breed- free range laying hens. When we are able to find the time we also raise pigs & meat chickens (seasonally). You can learn more about our farm online at www.straightforward.farm or follow us on Instagram @straightforwardfarm or find us on Facebook.
Do you do custom work? Yes!!! If you have a special item you'd like made please contact me! I've made all sorts of specialized potholders, bags, toys, pillows, decorations, wall art, casserole cozies, etc. for people. Let's talk about your idea.....Email is best: [email protected]. It may take a day or so for me to respond as I do spend a majority of my daylight hours farming but that doesn't mean I'm not interested. If you haven't heard from me & are feeling antsy- send me another message.
Where can I find your items.... For purchase-Mostly online & occasionally at the Willy St. Coop in Madison, WI.
Where can I find your toys to play with? I have made a wide variety of the toys for Children's Museums including: the pies & pizzas that are at the Madison's Children's museum as well as the Illinois Children's Museum, as well as ta variety of Chinese & Greek food items for the Indianapolis Children's Museum.
Are there other items you make that aren't online? Yes! Because Fat Tomato is not my only job I try to squeeze as much in as I can but I don't always have the time to post everything so please contact me if you're not seeing something you thought was available, used to be or are just wondering if I have or could make. I'm always expanding my available collection.
