Hello book lover! I'm so glad you're here!

I'm Alyssa, the maker behind Bookish Cat Co., based just outside Winnipeg, MB. I first launched my shop on Etsy in 2022.

I enjoy creating with my hands and being surrounded by beautifully designed, colourful fabric. Sewing with audiobooks is one of my favourite combinations.

Aside from reading, you can find me sipping on tea lattes, baking cookies, birding, and hanging out with my husband and two silly cats.

Why Choose Bookish Cat Co?

  • Everything here is 100% handmade by me with the highest quality fabrics in small batches in my home studio in Manitoba.
  • I source my fabric and supplies from amazing female-owned Canadian small businesses!
  • I am committed to operating my business sustainably. Read about my materials and packaging here.

What's behind the name?

  • It comes down to my love for cats and books! One of my cats is always within arm's reach of me, the other is generally up to more trouble like pulling books out of shelves and she's guilty of chewing a couple books (and that's why I always use a book sleeve on my night table)!

    Thank you for supporting my shop and happy reading!
