Bespoke Sewing.......................exquisite hand-finished keepsake gifts and home furnishings
Creating a Keepsake Item, takes care and precision to create something to enable you to treasure those special memories.
Here I am going to break down the process a little, to help you get a better understanding of what exactly goes into making such a special item.
Firstly, the outfits, dresses, trousers or baby gro's are sent, and are laid out for inspiration, which is followed by a sketch of the design.
Each item is then carefully unpicked, trimmed and prepared for the next stage. Legs, arms, head ears body and tail are all carefully cut out, ready for construction.
Once the arms and legs are stitched, they are then stuffed - To stuff one leg, it takes 20mins!!
They are then stitched onto the body, once the head and ears have been attached. This process, is quite tricky, and can take a while to get everything precise.
The head is then stuffed and the detailed face is embroidered, adding character and life to the Bunny.
Next it's the body's turn to be stuffed and hand stitched to close. This is then followed by adding the tail and the finishing special touches.
A beautiful Bunny has now been born.
Altogether, they take anything from 8 - 12 hours to fully complete, depending on the outfit combinations sent and the details and specifications required.
I think you will agree though, that all of the effort is very much worth it.
For this particular Commission, a Keepsake Journal and Tooth Fairy Cushion were also created to match. Now Grace has a full collection of Keepsakes, that she can treasure for many years to come, and share her memories with her mum and family.
