Customer Creations Part III


Here are the latest gorgeous creations made by our wonderful customers.  A big thank you to all of you who are kind enough to share what you have made.  We really appreciate your custom and generosity in allowing us to swoon over your creations... 

We begin with Ann, one of our very talented customers who created this dress for her daughter using our Sewaholic Cambie Dress Pattern.  Her daughter is thrilled with the dress and I can see why – it is rather gorgeous!




This is Christina’s wonderful cushion – what a fabulous eye popping colour, and she used our 57mm lace to trim the cushion with.   Any sofa or bed would look great with these o





Now here is something I have never seen before from the lovely Lauren.  Again using the same 57mm lace for a completely different project – nail art!  You can check out Lauren’s Instagram page here #softlysophisticated 




Barbara has discovered her passion for making cards and she shares her creations on her website here…  Ms Sticky Note.  Barbara used our box pleat and our elasticated organza trims to make these lovely cards…







I hope you have enjoyed this little journey into our latest customer creations, and I hope it inspires you to create a little bit each day…

Wedding Wonders…

Here are some of our gorgeous customer creations with a wedding theme.

Thanks to all who shared their fabulous work.

We start with stationery; we have a Save the Date Card, then some fabulous invitations.  We move on to table decorations, a flower bouquet, cake and to complete the wedding outfit - a garter! 

Nicola sent photos of her super cute and gorgeous ‘Save the Date’ cards made using our 25mm ivory lace in preparation for her marriage to Robert next year.



Samantha used our very tiny 10mm lace to create her wedding invitation, which looks both delicate and stunning!



More invites now with Anne & James who shared there own simply beautiful handmade invites using our 57mm lace and the addition of the deep red trim brings the whole wedding theme colour together.





Debbie used our 25mm ivory lace to creative the most gorgeous votives for her wedding tables - they look so beautiful!




Here is an exquisite bouquet of peony roses all tied up with our 38mm lace.  This gorgeous arrangement was put together for a bride’s big day by Helen from Croppers in Bloom






Fi from Elegant Favours shared her gorgeous table decorations with us.  She used our pink and ivory 38mm delicate lace to create them and they look absolutely stunning!












No wedding would be complete without a cake.  Tracey made hers and it looks superb!  She used our 15mm Crochet Lace to add texture and detail and I think it works really well - even better considering it was her first ever attempt at making a wedding cake!





Thanks to Gosia who used our 57mm lace to make a gorgeous garter.  She is an incredible artist and you can see more of her work here…  My Colourful Texture     







Until next time…

Happy Creating…
