More wedding fun and sewing!

Alongside the wedding I created the table plan for I was also commissioned to create a set of personalised pillow cases for the newly-weds.  I was sent some ideas of what was wanted and took it from there combining appliqué, machine-stitch and heat transfer to create the personalised cases.

Have a look below-

Mr & Mrs pillowcases personalised with surname

Good old snap with the sewing machine :)
The pillowcases featured each of Mr. Fitchford and Mrs. Fitchford with the couples initials heat transferred on the back to provide another small personalised feature. Any orders or queries are more than welcome using my email found on my contact page :)

Wedding Creations!

Over the last few weeks I have had a few orders and requests for various little projects which has been fun and ace to get me back into creative things!

One of the first was to create a simple, classic wedding table plan for a friend that was at the amazing Rookery Hall Hotel and Spa.  Below are a few images of the table plan being created and also at the venue.
Nearly finished!

Packed and ready to go

Mother's Day!

Well isn't this new....2 posts in the space of a couple of days :) I am making more of a conscious effort to post more and get some projects on the go of my own.  Working in a school can be mentally draining feeding ideas to students but I have finally got round all of this and I am now used to it (you may think that is sad but this is why staff in schools need half term :P!)
Anyway with Mother's Day around the corner I have been having a nosey at what is out n about in the stores and online and here are some of my favourites.....one which I have already purchased :)
