Another Bridal Peignoir created from Mother of the Bride's dress. Being extremely small, there wasn't enough fabric to make a new garment. So, we agreed using the lace from her dress on a newly constructed peignoir would provide that meaningful touch. In addition to the Bridal Peignoir, she wanted two hankies with special embroidery. Bride-to-Be had happy tears when she saw the lace from her mom's dress on her peignoir.

What is cuter than a personalized fabric gift bag? Only the contents! How special and meaningful, to wrap your gift in a bag that can be used for years to come.

Every baby needs a cute quilt. I thrifted the alphabet panel and added colored blocks of fabric left over from other quilting projects. This is a useful size, measuring 38" by 50". It has colorful pictures, letters, animals and numbers. What more could one desire in cuteness?

This cutie was made from the same wedding dress I made the recent Bridal kimono. I've been wanting to make a bear from a wedding dress, and I finally got the chance! How cute is she? Super cute! She's 13 inches tall and has moveable limbs. The ruffle around her neck is the Bride's garter, complete with dark green ribbon and a vintage Mother of Pearl button.

Bridal kimono #2 from the same dress. Gorgeous candlelight satin and beautiful lace appliques make a lasting gift. Your wedding dress can become a lovely bridal kimono for your daughter's bridal shower via DMS Designs. Side note: as I was typing "appliques" auto correct changed it to "soldiers" and I'm never going back. Lace Soldiers grace the front of this kimono in a cascading pattern down the front, sparkling with tiny pearls, beads & sequins. A fabulous use of a dress and a lasting memento for the Bride.

I've been making fabric gift bags since the early 1990s. But the elf booties are the funniest yet! Dollar store Christmas tree ornaments turned gift bag embellishments, adding a touch of whimsy to a solid-colored bag. And that oddly shaped gift? A fabric gift bag solves that wrapping dilemma speedy quick! Embroidery, ribbon, buttons and beads, all come together as part of the adornments. What will your gift bags look like? Fabulous, I'm sure!
