Hello I'm Christine, your friendly neighborhood tinkerer and tailor, and I'm passionate about making and breaking things in the best way possible!
When I embarked on my wearable technology journey, finding the right components was a real challenge. I often had to buy more than I needed or settle for limited choices. That's why I created Tinker Tailor – to support the wearable maker community by offering the chance to sample, experiment, and source smaller or unique quantities of components. Here, you’ll find everything you need to bring your creative ideas to life, with a variety of options to choose from.
