Middleton Makes

Middleton Makes Shop for truly one-of-a-kind, handmade items ranging from apparel to interiors. Middleton Makes is a woman-owned small business, located in the Bay Area.

Each small batch is hand-dyed with love and attention to detail. Custom Dye requests encouraged! Are you interested in creating your very own gorgeous ice-dyed pieces — but don’t know how, or don’t want to invest in all the materials like soda ash, Fiber Reactive Procion dyes, bins, racks, ice, special detergents, etc.? Would you like to make a handmade gift for yourself or a friend? Let's make it happen! Please contact me for workshop dates or to schedule a private party.

Super excited for our Kini to make Time Magazine's Best Tech Gifts List after the author Dawn Alcott had a couple months to give Kini a test drive. Guess what? She liked us! She really liked us!

We get solicitations to PAY for spots in ALL KINDS of publications, which we never do. Most of the time I've never even heard of it.. but this is TIME MAGAZINE! The best part is we were never in contact with her - Kini spoke for itself! So we are stoked.

She includes a lot of other great tech gifts on her list, so if you already have a Kini or can't find a use for one (??!!!!!!) take a look and pass it on! ;-)

Hello, May! It’s time to start thinking about summer fun- like hitting the beach! 👙🌊🏖 These one of a kind beach towels with their colorful patterns are super easy to coordinate with any color swimsuit, large enough to lie down on in order to soak up some rays and really absorbent! 💦 The best part is the fact that they roll/fold up nice and small for toting around. So buy two!

Hi friends! Quick update. I haven’t been posting on social media lately because I’m here on the east coast helping my parents pack up their spectacular home of 50 years- the main part of the house was built in 1756 and with the new wing for their grandkids to visit, they have 7(!) bedrooms (and a lot of stuff!) to clear out. It’s an incredibly emotional time for them, and for me. I grew up here - met my husband here in high school, we even had our wedding reception in the back yard. But not everything is forever. My parents needed a simpler life, and to be closer to family, which is the most important thing in life, isn’t it? We are so grateful that they are willing to truly reduce and simplify and be flexible enough to move in to our little pool house, where they can spend their days in sunny (mostly) California, enjoying time with their grandchildren who will come home for holidays and summers. And I will have them close for the last part of their lives. It’s a blessing in so many ways.

As I pack up, so many memories are brought back to life with each little item I touch-some of which were even my grandmother’s. I am so lucky that the must special of these are coming to Orinda with them, so they can continue to be cherished and passed down through the generations- as we all have stories to be remembered and shared, and loved ones to hold close.

I’ll be back in business at the end of May- until then I may repost some older content. I appreciate your sticking with me during this hiatus. I look forward to getting some workshops scheduled for summer! You can meet my parents! :)

Happy Nowruz (the Persian New Year)! It’s officially Springtime. 🌿✨The time for warmth, rejuvenation and regrowth… a time to blossom. The Persian custom of jumping over fire on Charshanbeh Suri (last Tuesday) is so that we all burn away the bad stuff from the past year and take a spark of life from the fire into the new year. How incredible is that?!! Every year. A Do-Over, essentially. A clean slate. Start fresh. Go forth and conquer. Love and be loved. Create and make and support. Boom. xo Nicky

Happy Spring! I’ve been adding some new items to my site so please take a peek!

Made of lightweight cotton gauze (perfect for travel!), the roomy trapeze shape allows for movement, but maybe the best feature? IT HAS POCKETS! I mean, how great is that?! 🤷‍♀️

This is a size S/M dyed in “Treasure Island” but I can always custom dye a different size or color way if you want this fab piece to be a part of your summer wardrobe.

PS. Big thanks to my seriously adorable friend for modeling. She knows a thing or two about style and color. 😉
