Had a customer reach out (clue is on the bag!), and by chance she got me right place right time!
I had just finished a large military order which I hadn't changed the machine set up from.
Perfect for this quick little fix.

The zip hadnt broken..it had just come apart, at the seams.
I use bonded nylon thread, as its waterproof and is extremely strong. Perfect for this job.

Happiest when I am mending stuff if I am honest.
How much for this fix? £5.00 as it doesn't take me long to mend.

I am now admiring the bag and wondering if I could make them myself in different colours 🙄🤔

●Another little project completed.
●Something a little out of the norm, but another string add to my bow!
●Its a fantastic way to repurpose a wedding dress. All that fabric just sitting in a box somewhere, aching to be used!
●Tradition was you would make the Christening gown from the dress.
●I did suggest making the Bride-to-be a Kimono style dressing gown as well...but Temu beat me to it 🤣
●Let me know what other items I could make! Cushion answers are band!!

●The list is NOW OPEN!
●But there are some important things you need to know!
●I will be working EXCLUSIVELY for Amara Prom Shop @amarapromstudio for alterations on Prom dresses next season.
●Claire's values align with mine in offering the best customer service and experience.
●It is becoming an important part of a young ladies' year, and therefore, care , attention, and thoughtfulness are given to each individual.
●I am so excited that the start of the season has already begun, with young ladies already coming to see me with their choice of dresses!
●So please dont delay, in booking a slot, as there are so many spaces I can allocate each year, to enable me to work with my other regular clientele.

●Prom 2026! Here we come!

●It's been a bumper year, and OMG, the dresses have been A-MAZE-ING!

●It's has been an absolute joy and privilege to make your dresses perfect.

●Thank you to @amarapromstudio for their never wavering faith in my sewing abilities.

●Prom 2025

●What a ride so far!

●Still more dresses coming in...

●Stand by for messages coming out, as they are rolling off the machines faster than you can say GCSEs!

●On a side note, anyone that can sew, will be rammed with work at the moment, so please bear with us Ladies (and Gents) whilst we beaver away at our most hectic 2 months.

●Keep going👊🏻
