This little day gown was made from a white cotton/silk fabric embellished with a machine embroidery in a gold tonal color. It closes in the back with several buttons. This type of dress would be a great after christening party and can be made from a variety of classic fabrics and trims, fancy or fun.

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 MoreMarceil 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 Roxanne's Wedding DressI absolutely loved my experience working with Marcy! She made sure I was part of the process every step of the way, from picking out the lace sample to the straps and even the cups of the dress! She even made sure that the fit was absolutely perfect, and made the adjustments even after I received the dress! I really cannot recommend Marcy enough - I am so excited to wear my wedding dress! Thank you again Marcy! :)
