WOYWW....

 Two weeks are never the same here at Sewing by Annie's.  This week I've been under demand for my services and with having to close for all these Bank holidays there just aren't enough hours in my days so I allowed a young lady come for a Wedding dress fitting yesterday, on my day off, and spent the day altering her dress and also removed the pockets from a pair of linen trousers because my customer didn't like the way they showed through.

I have also made two memory bears, put a new zip in a waterproof jacket and repaired a tear in a dress....I do love the variety that comes through my door.




I love to see my rail full....especially when all the jobs on there are done and just waiting for collection :-)





This little bear will be going to sit at the head of a table at a Wedding where Grandad would have sat.....I love how special the little bears I make are.




This little bear is made from a Dad's shirts and is being given to a special needs young man on his birthday.

That just about sums up my week so far but I have a Prom dress coming today and have 4 more Memory bears coming before the end of the week too....It's all go here and I'm loving the buzz

Hugs,

Annie x

Good morning Annie
What wonderful and touching ideas for both of the memory bears, so thoughtful. You’ve made a lot of people happy over the time you’ve been making them. Have a lovely Coronation Weekend. We are hoping that the weather is kind and we can make it to the caravan

How lovely to have fitted the bride to be in, she must have been so relieved! I think that the little bear will do a good job standing in for Grandad at the wedding, very poignant, Looking rowed to seeing you very soon!

Well done you, Annie, I bet that bride was relieved to get an appointment at the moment. There are too many bank holidays this month - my creative writing tutor emailed us yesterday to ask if we wanted a class on the last Monday in May as it otherwise makes a very short term.
Your memory bears are lovely and these two are showing clearly how important they are to your clients.
Take care and happy WOYWW

Even though the pattern is the same the memory bears all have a different look don’t they. I haven’t been able to open Julia’s site for some reason so no number ! Happy WOYWW. Angela CWJ
