Ayershire Style Chrustening Gown
Ayrshire styled Christening gown. This gown is a beautiful British styled ensemble; elegant but not overdone. This is sure to sure to be a family heirloom for many generations. This gown is made from 100% European handkerchief linen in off-white. Linen in its truest form is not a bright bleached white. This gown is a typical A-line style gown with long sleeves adorned with antique entredeux laced with off-white satin ribbon. This same treatment runs down the length of the princess style front panel. The front panel has several sections which have been tucked and embroidered with a simple vine treatment and dove outlines. The neck edges, sleeves and hem are finished off with a double loop Venice lace. The back of the gown is closed with 12, sunburst carved, Mother-of-pearl buttons. The little bonnet that goes along with this gown is simple in structure yet dons the same ribbons and lace finishing as the gown. All the adornments and embroideries are done in tonal neutrals. This gives the gown some great depth without any of the embellishments crying out louder than the others. The gown measures about 20" at the chest, 51" in length and "62 in bottom circumference. The matching slip is done in a very simple A-line style with the embroidery at the hem matching the bottom design on the gown with the baby' information added for familial history being documented. The design is done in a very light color so as to not to be visible through the light weight linen gown.

Welcome to my store!
I have been stitching for well over 40 years! Amazing how fast time goes by, seems like yesterday that I sat at a sewing machine for first time!
I make wedding dresses, baby attire to include Christening/Baptismal Gowns, after christening party attire, First Communion Dresses, Flower girl dresses, quilts or anything you can dream up. I have studied with some world renowned designers such as Sandra Betzina, special occasion expert Susan Khalji, and designer to the stars Kenneth King.
I first learned the trade while visiting an aunt during a summer vacation. She was giving sewing lessons and I had an immediate love for the craft just by watching and when offered the opportunity to learn, I jumped at it! That was the beginning of a lifelong passion.
At first I was only interested in crafting my own clothes but that quickly evolved into sewing for others. When I got married I had made my mind up that I was going to venture into the special occasion genre by making my own gown and that became my next love. After the birth of my first daughter I began making all her (and now my granddaughters) special occasion dresses and then off to yet another level of the craft!
I have made many wedding gowns through the years for friends and the general public, when our friends were having babies I added Baptismal and Christening gowns to my repertoire. At first the gowns were plain with a little lace or other adornment. I have since branched off into using machine embroideries and hand beading along with heirloom techniques. The more intricate the patterns and adornments the better I like it! I have not yet met a request I haven't been able to fulfill.
I am also associated with the organization "Rest in His Arms", which provides burial attire to babies which have been abandoned by their families. This organization provides the burial gowns and services for each baby they come in contact with for free.
It has been a rewarding evolution from my first stitch to now!

For Quilts And More5.0Marceil was excellent. Together we put together a replacement quilt for my husband. It was a Father's Day/Early Anniversary gift for my husband. We did this all behind his back. The quilt we ended doing was gorgeous!!! It was a great father's day gift and beautiful anniversary gift. She was great to work with, keeping me updated all along. The only thing about the quilt my husband said was it was to beautiful to sleep under because it was a was a "work of art"

For Dog rain Coat5.0It was very easy and fun working with Marcy. Even though my project was not in her normal area of expertise, she was willing to give it a try. First she did a great job of the look I was wanting. And if she had not been on the ball and taking a little initiative and willing to question MY information, my poor dog would be wearing,….well who knows WHAT it would have looked like. LOL Then even though it was the holiday season Marcy still managed to complete my project in a very quick time line. Bottom line ..IF Marcy would be willing to try any of my further projects, even though it isn't the type of things she may like to make, I would want to give her first shot at them. That is how much I liked working with Marcy. The item is just what I wanted. And she even sent my dog a couple of treats along with the rain coat. Thanks Marcy and take care.
