The Heirloom Collection
heir·loom
ˈerlo͞om/
noun
-
a valuable object that has belonged to a family for several generations.
One of my most valued and treasured heirlooms is this gorgeous lace gown that my grandmother is wearing. This lace gown was found by my mother and her sister after my grandmother passed away. It was neatly wrapped in tissue paper, tucked away in one of her clothing drawers. No one knew anything about the gown, nor who it belonged to until they found the family portrait of my grandmother wearing the gown. My mom and aunt gave me the gown and I began a huge process of drafting a pattern and recreating the lace gown. The result became a cover story in Sew Beautiful Magazine, issue no. 106
One of my favorite things to do is create heirlooms from vintage pieces and vintage patterns. The Heirloom Collection includes heirloom and vintage-inspired handmades using French Heirloom Sewing Techniques. This small batch collection of handmade heirloom garments are for infant thru toddlers and all will be vintage-inspired from actual vintage garments or made from actual vintage patterns. Some may have classic embroidery elements, such as Peter Rabbit. All items are buy it now and ready to ship! More heirloom garments coming soon and will be added as collections are created!
