North Georgia Angel Gowns

 Donated dresses  Some of these gowns are brand new with tags still on them.  We do make gowns for the tiny boys who didn’t live.  Sometimes we add blue trim or use another fabric to add a vest and bow tie.  Other times we make them with the satin.   Look at the details on the dresses.  They will make gorgeous baby gowns!  It’s hard not to just make frilly gowns with all this pretty detail.

I have a nice comfy chair along with my cute assistant who sits on the chair with me. She leaves me room to sit on the edge of that comf...

I’ve been keeping myself busy this winter making angel gowns from used wedding dresses.  The baby gowns are then donated to organizations that give them to families who lost a baby either during birth or if the baby didn’t survive. 😢 Currently I am looking for volunteer seamstresses who would like to share their sewing talent for a good cause.  The only criteria is you need a sewing machine and a good pair of scissors.  I will supply the wedding dresses and the patterns.  Contact me for more information!
