I made this special silk smocked Christening Set several years ago for son #1 & as you can see it has now served 5 little brothers... and it still looks as good as the first day!... Thankyou Mummy for the pics of your 5 adorable son's.
Our new Business Cards for the "Gladstone Angel Babies" group. These are placed in all packs for hospitals & funeral homes as a contact point, so that there can be an ongoing supply.
These are the tiny 5cm nappies which are placed into the Cocoon packs.. One for bub & one for the family to keep in their memory box..
27 gowns & 12 cocoons from one wedding gown & 1.5m fabric. A stunning picture altogether. Thankyou to the donor...
Such a wonderful result from one wedding gown. 40 little gowns & 3 cocoons... Thankyou to all those who donate, without your help it couldn't be done!
Been so busy of late. Here are several groups of Angel gowns made from donated wedding & formal wear. They are so pretty & it is lovely to know that families will be blessed by our Angel packs on suffering a precious loss... these little ones so deserve a beautiful send off... X
12 lovely larger sized 'Angel' gowns from a beautiful donated taffeta wedding gown which was encrusted with pearls & glass beading. The size comparison below is small & large. There will be a medium size also on offer. Now to work on a "little manly" style for our 'Angel' boys.
A beautiful gift for a special little "Angel" baby.. these have been sent all the way to the USA ...
A variety of styles this time, using all the buttons, lace motifs & pearls from the original gown.
31 gowns from one large wedding gown! Amazing
The lace overlay works well & the join in the original gown doesn't look out of place here.
This was so much fun to make. With help from friends I managed quite well. All the panels & construction were done in the embroidery hoop of the machine. No hand work at all! Brilliant.
Some years ago I made this lovely smocked pale blue dupion silk romper & hat with blue pearls for a lady. Here are her 4 son's all wearing it at each of their Christenings.Beautiful boys Mrs. N.
What a joy to sew for all "Angel" babies... These were all made from the one wedding gown & grooms vest. By adding some scraps of colour there were even more gowns.. Some of the Mums love the splash of bright colours, others all white so we cater to all likes...
Such a delight to make... "Red Red Rose" is from the AS & E Magazine. Made of Tana Liberty floral, it is a fine as a whisper to work with, even nails can pull a thread so care has to be taken. It is smocked with dark green & red DMC thread with a cream contrast. The sleeves & collar are handmade red grub roses with dark green hearts. The red is striking... my pic came out sideways, sorry...lol
Questions?
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I would love to hear your comments on my work or perhaps one of the "babies" in the pictures. These special babies are the handy work of Janan who is a very clever USA reborning artist & does custom orders on request....... pop into her web site - links on the right - & check out the beautiful babies.
What a pleasure it is to sew & smock for the clever artists who create these lifelike 'babies'... amongst my valued customers is Selena Saxton of Toowoomba Australia who is very well known in the reborning industry for her original ideas in presentation & doll creativity.... well done Selena, it is wonderful to sew your designs...
