About Me
Welcome to The Backstitch Studio (since 2023)
Hi, I’m Heu Yee – maker, do-er and the person behind all the stitching magic you see here.
What started as a creative escape quickly turned into a full-on obsession with fabric, design, and reimagining traditional batik for the everyday wardrobe.
What I Make
Small-batch, handmade clothing & accessories using beautiful fabrics — especially batik!
- Printed Batik Fabrics (Machine washable & Iron-less!!)
- Modern, wearable silhouettes
- Inspired designs by everyone I've crossed paths with (you might just be my next muse)
Everything is made locally, thoughtfully, and in limited quantities—because slow fashion should feel personal.
Think : a girl in bomber jacket (when weather allows), in a batik slit skirt fitted like a glove
Why I Do This
I believe clothes should make you feel something—connected, confident, and a little bit joyful. This shop is for anyone who wants to wear their heritage in a way that feels fresh and effortless.
Who This Brand Is For
If you’ve ever felt like the odd one out — the quiet creative, the not-so-mainstream girl, the one who just wants clothes with soul — you’ll probably fit right in here. I make pieces for people who care more about meaning than mass production.
A Little Note
Running this studio is both scary and exciting every single day. I don’t always know what I’m doing, but I try to lead with honesty, heart, and a lot of love for sewing. If you’ve supported this journey in any way — bought something, shared a post, or just followed along — thank you. Truly.
This might be a small business, but it’s full of big feelings.
Thanks for being here 💛
Come Say Hi
You’ll find me at local pop-ups across KL (and sometimes beyond). Or right here, always creating something new.
