Love it Roz @Rozcraftz! You did an amazing job! Now I want an handmade patchwork quilt! I have tons of pretty fabrics etc as I used to sew a lot but I haven’t bothered in forever! And I did read someone saying how they still buy fabric and can’t bare to cut it, I’m the same! I have some baskets of pretty fat quarters here to hand, don’t ask me why, there’s not a needle or thread in sight!! All of my sewing treasures are in the attic! Maybe one day.
This is a wedding card my sister in law asked me to make for friends of hers who got married last weekend. Apologies for the dodgy photography, I just took a couple of quick snaps of the card and the matching box after I had finished.
Really lovely! Yes, I had to rush to take my photos of the heart pendant too, before I quickly got it to the post office - I’d taken a long time buffing and polishing and was running out of time!
Thanks, Alison! The hours I spent buffing it…! I don’t know yet, they’re on their way right now! Hoping for the best
Scarily the commissioning process started with R. saying, I like these at Tiffany’s, could you…? I thought, “Tiffany’s!!! HELP!” Everything was so shiny, it’s so far from my own style. Oh my…! Once I’d finished hyperventilating I was able to start designing! Lol!
So lovely to see things that are outside people’s usual craft/ style. Here’s another one from me, my daughters prom dress that I made last year - and it survived the prom!
She had no choice after the hours I spent sewing in all the pleats on the bodice and then I had to hand sew over 300 gems and sequins on! Wouldn’t have been happy if she had refused to wear it!
This is a personalised hand made wooden box that a bride-to-be wanted converted into a LOCK BOX, so that herself and her partner could protect their wedding vows.
The plan is to open and read their vows whenever they forget how much they mean to each other.
A friend wanted me to make a bracelet for his wife’s birthday, Garnet being her birthstone, incorporating this fossil which they found on top of a mountain in Peru!
The fossil was a challenge as it was very uneven. But I got there in the end, I added an uncut Tourmaline in the centre. The rest of the bracelet was a doddle in comparison!
