Custom Embroidery

This is a personalized towel showing the name and date of a baptism.

This is the main part of a pillow cover with a “pet name” and favourite love of a little girl. It was a Christmas gift from her Auntie.

A bag I made to show support for our local farmers and to encourage others to show their support.

Personalized Face Masks

This is one example of a personalized face mask. My granddaughter requested one with a Pug on it so being the “fantastic” grandma that I am I found an embroidery pattern and was able to grant her request. In order to make sure the stitches don’t affect the integrity of the mask after doing the embroidery I apply a layer of non-woven, fusible interfacing to cover the design.
Another special order for a Legion member. Guess what branch he was in!

These are special order only and with the embroidery work I have priced them at $15 each. They are made with the same materials and styles as the “basic” ones. I will be testing some embroidery on the 3-D masks but in order for it to fit the size of the embroidery will have to be of a size to fit the centre panel. Once the test is complete I will post another picture. If you have a special request please contact me and I will make every effort to grant your request.

I have found it is possible to embroider on the 3-D masks as long as I can get the correct sized pattern. Have a look.

Sewing

Here is a great place to start talking about my sewing!
I have been sewing since I was 10 years old when I started in the local 4-H Sewing Club. I did get to the point where I became a leader and taught others to sew.
I have taken on many challenges, including reupholstering kitchen chairs, stools, and even some pieces from trailers! I will say there hasn’t been a challenge I haven’t taken on, but now know those which I will not be doing again!
I have decided not to continue doing major alterations but will still do hemming and some of the smaller alterations so the only way to know if I am able to help is to contact me with the information of what you would like help with and I will let you know right away if I am able to help you out.

Face Masks

Face Masks

I have a few different styles that I make and have come up with a favourite for me, but everybody has their own version of what works best for them. They can be made with elastic behind the ears or over/behind the head. I do not have hearing aids that fit behind the ears but have heard from customers that using the over/behind the head works well for them. I don’t stitch the elastic in but form a casing on each side of the mask and thread the elastic through and then use either a silicone stopper, or for over/behind the head a toggle, and this makes them adjustable for individual comfort.
