I have my clothing in a few boutiques and people are always so excited about this when I tell them. While it is an honor to be on the shelves of these beautiful places, I enjoy making the clothes for people instead of hanging racks. When I get to meet the customer who wants a special order, making the garment is so much more rewarding and fun. I think about the child during the sewing process and I feel a greater sense of joy when I finish and can deliver it to the customer who has now become a friend.
Here are some of those special dresses that were ordered at the Fella Bella trunk show. They each have a story... a little girl adopted from Russia, a special school picture dress, a little one who refuses to wear dresses but caved when she saw the turtle fabric and a sweet baby who isn't even born yet.
I feel that these dresses have a certain shine to them. Perhaps it is my imagination, but just maybe they have the ingredient of love woven into the fibers.
