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!

Angel Gowns...

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 larger gowns from a lovely wedding gown donation.

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. 

Special Gift....

A beautiful gift for a special little "Angel" baby.. these have been sent all the way to the USA ...

Lots & lots of little Angel gowns.

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.

Machine Embroidered Bag "In the Hoop" design

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. 

Used for all 4 son's..

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. 

"Angel" gowns everywhere!

 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...

Red Red Rose from AS&E Magazine.

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

Green for Encephalitis Bubs..

Some pretty cocoons for the Angel babies... delicate ribbon ties in the same green.... White wedding satin & green satin are a perfect match.

At last, all 8 are finished....

A gorgeous apple green & pink with lace collar & cuffs. Pink smocked cowboy boots..

 Mermaids & fish panel of smocking,  blue spots suited this one perfectly for collar & cuffs.

This fabric is adorable, blue background with tiny shiny dots throughout... red piping on the collar & cuffs is perfect for the mermaid & fish smocking.

Glorious Green

Another gown transformation for the Encephalitic bubs.  A white wedding gown with emerald green satin bias as green is the colour for encephalitis. 6 gowns & 7 cocoons.  Some of these will be sent to the USA for their chapter.

Angels in pink.

Managed to create 10 cocoons & 6 gowns from a lovely donated wedding gown which was very delicate & had lace overlay. Many little Angel bubs will benefit from all these..





Below is the original gown before deconstruction.
