Our Story

“Hand Maid Foot Prince were my favorite blankets for my babies. They're the only ones that actually FIT my babies beyond week one when swaddled. I continued to use them for crib blankets because they're the perfect size and also so soft. The quilted double-sided blanket is great for seasonal changes in temperature. I’ll always keep a stack of them to use for baby gifts!” – Emilie, mother of three

Like so many successful baby product businesses, Hand Maid Foot Prince was born in the basement out of necessity. Just after the birth of her first son in 2003, Linda (a Fashion Arts & Design College graduate and seamstress) was given an extra large receiving blanket. She found it so invaluable, practical, and hard to find (everything else was just too small), that she began sewing her own to welcome her second baby boy in 2004.

It was during that year that Linda perfected the Swaddling Blanket and started development of the Quilted Layette Blanket. Linda soon found herself sewing them as gifts for friends and family. Everyone loved them and asked for more for themselves, or to give away as gifts.

After numerous requests for coordinating burp cloths, Linda started developing prototypes for the very best burp cloth. It had to be just the right size, but still cute. After the introduction of her third son in 2007 (which brought opportunity to test burp cloths) the Spat! – the best ever cutest burp cloth – came to be.

Linda is now ready to start sharing what Hand Maid Foot Prince babies and moms say are the best baby blankets and burp cloths. Hand made by Linda in her basement with the same love and care as she was making them for her own babies.
