This has to be the cutest order to date! 🤍

I was asked to make a little Chihuahua from the bedding & little doggy coats from a much loved pet Chihuahua that had sadly passed away.

I made him from his dog bed & found one of his little jumpers which fitted perfectly! The other dog jackets I made into a little bed for him to sit on & also incorporated some of the fabric from a coat into a couple of key rings 🤍

How special is this family of bears made in memory of a Husband & Dad who loved his garden.

The paws, ears & feet pads are all made from a selection ties & each bear has a flower made from clothing that holds lots of lovely memories. My customer also supplied little spades & shovels for me to attach 💚

One of the bears is wearing an pair of shorts I down sized made from the gentlemens gardening shorts 🌻🌿🌼🌱

I also made a patchwork cushion from shirts a dressing gown including the special ties

I've been working on something very special.

This amazing patchwork blanket had been lovingly hand-sewn & was given as a family heirloom by a special family member.

I was asked to use the blanket and make a huggable cushion for their daughter to take to University with her.

I used a 22-inch full feather cushion insert (for huggability) and used the backing of the blanket to make a soft frill to offset the amazing patchwork fabrics.
