I’m back from a little hiatus and I just wanted to share the shirts that Esther Conrad Grant embroidered for my daughter’s wedding! She is the owner of Tiger Swallow Tales Children’s Boutique and she also has a stunning dress in the latest issue of Classic Sewing Magazine that you must read about.
Here is the link to her shop on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tigerswallowtales/
She also has a fantastic blog that you should check out: http://www.tigerswallowtales.com/
My daughter, Rose, found a picture on Pinterest using monogrammed flannel shirts for the bridal party and she had her heart set on doing a similar picture for her wedding. The wedding is in November and she wanted something a little cozier than little robes for the bridal party. The picture she wants to use shows the bridal party lined up with their backs to the camera, wearing monogrammed flannel shirts. Esther was wonderful and she went above and beyond to make Rose’s dream come true. Esther found the perfect font, in the perfect size and created these beautiful shirts that the bridesmaids can wear when they do their hair and makeup. She has such an amazing talent and Rose will be ecstatic when she sees them! ❤️❤️❤️
The shirts are stunning thanks to Esther’s meticulous attention to detail. I just can’t thank her enough! I also want to thank her for kindly allowing me to post her pictures from her Facebook page.
I’ve been away a little too long and I will be posting more soon. I have updates from convention and a SAGA meet up at Kent State to share, along with my entry from the Design Show. I was working on that, then my grandson decided to come 3 weeks early and totally threw off my sewing schedule! I thought I would have a whole month after convention to make him a coming home outfit, but he clearly had different plans! Now things have settled down and I can get back to my Bridal purse and my Baby Bishop pattern not to mention my next pleating lesson.
It’s been hectic!
Here is the original post with the shirts on Esther’s Facebook page:
