When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, people were left with extra time on their hands to pick up old hobbies. Katelyn Babbitt, owner of MadeByKBab Etsy shop, took on making tie-dye shirts for herself and her family. She started making tie-dye shirts because she thought they were expensive online, but until the lockdown, she never had enough time to put her full focus on making shirts because of work and her children. “I started making them just for myself and my kids and then we decided we could only have so many tie-dye shirts,” she said. “I decided to start the Etsy shop just for something fun to do.”
