Some recent custom orders

Wedding season is in full swing and I've been working on lots of fun custom orders this spring and summer.  I have several still to finish this week, but I thought I'd share some now and some later this week when I'm done.

First, I sewed these three velvet clutches in gunmetal frames. 
 I love the embroidered monograms.
 These flap clutches looked awesome, made out of black satin.  I wish they looked better in this picture, but I almost always have lousy lighting when I'm completed with orders. This picture kind of makes them look like trash bags!
 This bride picked four different colors of silk for her and her bridesmaids.  I love the teal gingham.

Today I finished my new largest order ever.  Twelve nautical clutches!  Four were bow clutches, and for the others she told me to use a variety of embellishments, and gave me the leeway to choose some new ones.  I had a lot of fun with that. The interiors are a mixture of blue, red, and gold.
 These two are my favorite new ones, a porthole and octopus.  I've decided to offer the octopus in my shop as a regular option.
 I've also decided to add pearl and rhinestone nautical clutches as a listing in my shop.  This idea came from a previous bridal order.  I love working with creative brides!
