Our Story
Hi! I'm Josie mama!
In 2018, we adopted Josie from SOSD Singapore. She was our first rescue, and she gently changed the way I saw the world.
In 2020, Jellie Bean joined our little family @josietherescued
Josie is the heart behind Josiemamasews.
She loves muddy adventures, rolling in grass, and living life without hesitation.
I remember constantly washing her accessories, only to see them stained and worn too quickly. I wanted something that could keep up with her joy.
Something practical, but still beautiful.
So I began testing fabrics. Researching. Sewing. Unpicking. Trying again.
After a year of trial and error, our water-resistant series was born. Pieces designed for real life with real dogs. Made to withstand play, rain, and everyday mess, while still looking thoughtful and timeless.
Every bandana, collar, leash sleeve, and message tag is handmade by me, only after your order is placed. This is slow made. Crafted in small batches. Created with intention.
Rescuing Josie opened my eyes to something deeper.
I began noticing the quiet struggles of local strays in Singapore. The misunderstandings. The labels placed on Singapore Specials. The fear that often surrounds dogs who simply need space and patience.
I knew I wanted to do more than sew.
We spearheaded the Yellow Dog Movement in Singapore, creating accessories that help dogs communicate their needs. The Yellow Dog Project was founded by trainer Tara Palardy in Canada to remind people that not all dogs are comfortable with close interactions.
A yellow bandana, tag, or leash is a gentle signal.
It says, “Please give me space.”
It is a small detail that can prevent stress, protect boundaries, and create safer encounters for everyone.
With every item sold, a portion of proceeds is donated to local shelters in Singapore.
Your support does more than sustain a small handmade business.
It supports rescues.
It raises awareness.
It helps advocate for kinder, more compassionate interactions.
Thank you for walking this journey with us.
With love,
Josie’s mama
