Donna's Fascinator

My Friend Donna got a really pretty floral dress for her birthday from her boyfriend and she wanted to style it up with one of my fascinators, so I was more than happy to help by making one that matched the colours in her dress. I used turquoise flowers with hints of purples in feathers & ribbons. It matched her dress perfectly and she looked lovely at her birthday BBQ.

Birthday Bracelet

It was recently my friend Donna's birthday and seeing as she loved my designs so much I decided to make her a "hand made & one of a kind" Emma Elizabeth bracelet as a birthday present. This is the first bracelet I have made and is 3 bracelets made into one with a pretty pink & white bow. I have used pearls, gold thread beads and a sparkling glass cut bead. She loved it and hopefully will treasure it forever. x

My Labels

These are my handmade labels that I have designed for each of my creations. These all have my designer name and the name of the product on as well as some pretty pink bows. These will be attached to everything I have made when I sell them.

Emma Elizabeth Home Wares

I have always been into interior design as well as fashion design So I decided to start making my own home wares collection as well as my accessories collection. I started with these lovely embellished African theme cushions, which I love because they are unique and very colourful. I started with the fabric that I found in my fabric and trims cupboard, it was one of the many bits of fabric I have collected over the years and I have always wanted to use for something. I then cut it into 4 cushion patterns, sew them together and embellished them with coloured sequins which took forever to sew each one on individually but it was worth it. These cushions also have different fastenings just to make them a bit more unique, The African Wave cushions have a button fastenings at the back with lovely red textured buttons and the African Head cushions are fastened with bright red satin ribbons tied in bows along the top.

These are for sale at the Moment if anyone is interested in buying these unique cushions, prices range from £25.

Nautical but Nice necklace

This is the first necklace I made for my accessories collection, My boyfriend helped me name it "Nautical but Nice". It fits in well with this summers nautical trend. I used a mixture of cord, silver chain, satin ribbon, pearls, metal rings and nautical style buttons. I love this necklace as it started me off and now I have a whole collection of hand made one of a kind necklaces as I will show you in my next couple of blogs.

My Friends Winter Wedding

My Friend Lisa got married last December and as one of her faithful bridesmaids she asked me to make a few things for her and of course I was happy to help. I made all these lovely fur Stoles with satin bows for us older bridesmaids and little fur muffs for the younger bridesmaids (yes she had 8 bridesmaids). I also made some pouch bags with the left over bridesmaid dress fabric and more satin ribbon, very handy for your lipgloss or tissues.

If your interested in having any of these made for your wedding, just contact me.

Fascinating Fascinators

Last year I had quite a few weddings to go to and I had a couple of lovely dresses that I wanted to accessorise with fascinators, however when I searched round all the shops I couldn't find a single one that matched my dresses, So I decided to make my own.

I made a turquoise and bright pink one and a purple one as you can see. I got loads of compliments on these at the weddings that I attended. If anyone is interested in having one made to match their outfit please feel free to contact me, prices range from £15.

My Job now..

I Now work for a fashion supplier called The Fielding Group, I started in December 2007 as a assistant designer for ladieswear and I am now a girls sleepwear designer. I really love designing girlswear as I can use bright colours, quirky graphics and the samples always look cute. I'm designing at the moment for M&S & BHS spring/Summer 11. So hopefully I will see my PJ designs in stores this time next year.

My Travels

After returning from Kuwait, I went to visit my boyfriend who was travelling around the world. I met up with him in Australia and we travelled around the east coast for a couple of months before I had to come home and find a new job.

Australia was so lovely, I enjoyed every day there and found it very inspirational especially when we went to make our own didgeridoo's with an Australian family, I decorated mine in an aboriginal style with lots of dots that make up images. I found this technique really interesting and when I got home I made 2 photo albums and a boomerang in the same way which now have there place on our coffee table.

While we were staying in Sydney with my Boyfriends Uncle & Aunt we went to Paddington market just down the road from their house, this market sold loads of crafty bits and beautiful clothing and accessories that people had made, I love these types of markets and one day hope to be living in Sydney and selling my creations at this very same market. (I can only dream).
