š„°These were an absolute joy to make. I was given 10 Manchester United tops and asked to make 4 dogs with them.
The only criteria was that each one had a Manchester United badge on it's ear.
š¤The hardest bit about these commissions is deciding which bit to put where!
The decision making cannot be rushed.
āļøOnce the fabric is cut it can not be un-cut! š©¹I am unable to go and buy replacement fabric if I make a mistake or just plain old change my mind!!
šSo I really need to be able to visualise the finished item at the cutting out stage.
š¶Each dog is different but similar.
š¶They all have different coloured eyes and I love that they all have different expressions on their faces purely because of how they have been sewn together and the final hand sewn face features applied.
šI know handing over your items to a stranger can be really tough.
šI know it's a MASSIVE deal to trust someone you don't know to take your precious items and turn them into a keepsake for you to cherish.
šI take that responsibility very seriously which is why I don't overload myself with orders for these. I don't want them to be a tick and turn exercise or a production line.
šThey deserve to be given my full attention and respect.
šI am so lucky and grateful that I figured out that this was something I was able to do to bring comfort to others at their saddest moments.
š This brings me joy and makes me feel like I am really making a difference to people where it matters most.
Thank you for choosing me xx
