The Patchwork Cat

The Brief

Patchwork Cat is a creative café and fabric store that also runs a variety of local craft workshops and classes. The client approached us to design and build a new e-commerce website that could showcase their products, promote their workshops and streamline the booking process for classes. 

The previous website lacked the functionality to manage multiple aspects of the business efficiently. Our brief was to create a cohesive online presence that reflected the charm and creativity of Patchwork Cat while integrating an easy-to-use booking system and online shop.

The new website was built on Shopify to allow for simple management of sales, class bookings and product updates.

Designed for a Seamless Experience

We wanted to capture the unique personality of Patchwork Cat, which is warm, creative and community-driven, while ensuring that the user experience was intuitive and engaging.

The design combines a bright, welcoming aesthetic with clear navigation, making it easy for visitors to browse fabrics, book workshops or learn more about the café. Each section of the site has been thoughtfully structured to support the business’s three key areas: retail, hospitality and education.

We worked closely with the client to ensure that the site reflected their brand values and delivered a smooth, enjoyable experience for customers both online and in-store.

Web Development

The site was developed using Shopify’s latest technology, providing a robust and flexible platform for managing both e-commerce and class bookings.

A key feature of the build was the custom booking system, which allows visitors to view and reserve spaces for local workshops directly on the website. The system integrates seamlessly with Shopify, enabling the client to manage bookings, payments and class availability all in one place.

We also configured product collections and categories for easy browsing, along with promotional areas to highlight new fabrics, upcoming classes and café events. The result is a multifunctional website that brings together all aspects of the Patchwork Cat brand in one cohesive space.

The Result

The new Patchwork Cat website captures the creative spirit of the brand while delivering a smooth and functional user experience. It has become a central hub for customers to shop fabrics, book classes and engage with the café’s creative community.

With its custom booking functionality and friendly, approachable design, the site not only supports online sales but also strengthens the connection between the business and its loyal local audience.
