Thanks Pam!




I have to thank my sweet customer Pam for requesting this custom designed clutch. It is made from ivory bridal satin and lined with satin taffeta in dusty rose.  I made the flower with the same rose fabric. It's gathered into a generous ruffle and turned in a flower shape. I then hand stitched it together through the bottom and sewed it to a brooch pin. I love the way this flower turned out. It's like a pile of ruffled goodness just sitting on the flap.  Such a little detail that, that adds so much flair!

Check out this clutch and many more at www.graceybags.etsy.com.

My Favorite Fabric Sites!

www.Hawthornethreads.com - This site is fantastic! I have ordered from Hawthorne threads for about 5 years now. They have all the new collections. My favorite feature is the color grid link in the left margin. Many brides say, "this is my wedding color and what are my options?" I send them straight to this site and always recommend the color grid. They ship quick and have wonderful, personal customer service.

another one.....

www.lillybellafabrics.com - Beautiful, Modern Fabrics! Christy's shop is fresh and super easy to navigate. I actually found her on Etsy first. She also ships super quick and has all the newest designer prints too!

To a seamstress, beautiful designer print fabrics are like diamonds to a jeweler......but on a much cheaper scale!! haha!  I love to order fabrics, there's just something about holding a stack of lovely print material. And the possibilities are endless....Oh My!!
