Sewed up yesterday, picked up and sitting comfortable pool side today. This customer sent me a photo of her newly covered cushions with a kind message “Thank you so much for giving our tired old patio chairs a new lease of life!! I think they look great!” I love seeing photos of the cushions on the patio furniture. Looks like a brand new set!
Pillows made using a customers (thrifted) yarn stitched needlepoint tapestry as a the pillow front. A great way to display these beautiful works of art. Backed with coordinating fabrics with an envelope style opening.
So so so happy with how this project turned out! A customer brought me 4 dresses that her mother had made her for special events in her life; graduation, bridesmaid dresses for her wedding and others.
Her mom has since past away for many years now but she’s held onto these special dresses. Instead of having them hang in the back of the closet to hold onto the memories she thought why not get them turned into dresses for her grand daughters to wear and share the memories. Here’s the fun part, she asked if I could make the new dresses look exactly like the old dresses with all the same details. I thought that was a fantastic idea and would be such a fun creative project to work on! Here are the before and after photos of the 4 dresses (front and back). The new dresses are made in size 3T & 4T. Now she can pass the memories of her mother down to her grandchildren who never had a chance to meet their great grandmother. These dresses were hand made by my customers mother years and years ago. When creating the new dresses I didn’t just want to use the dresses for their fabric, I wanted to include some of her mothers beautiful handy work into the new dresses as well. So I was able to use all of the original hems including the beautiful lace finishes. As well in some dresses I included some original seaming, finishing and belts. This makes the dresses that much more special! One of my favourite things I made for the holidays was this unicorn cape for a little girly who loves dressing up. It was something fun and new to make! I love how it turned out! 💕
The pattern is a @rebeccajpage pattern. Sewing the yarn mane was actually very simple and done by sandwiching all the yarn between 2 lengths of ribbon. I had fun mixing and matching different sparkly fabrics from my stash. Sewn with love with lots of hours of play time in its future!
