AngelWraps. 

So simple.....  so delicate.....  so beautiful....  and they hold the tiniest precious Angels on their journey.

Today's Progress

I have been a bit busy in my personal life the last 10 days but I got back to AngelGowns today.

I decided to step outside of my normal embellishing routine and try a few new things.

I figure that everyone's tastes vary so much...

 that someone would like each one of these...

 And it gets me out of my embellishment rut.

 Sometimes, it seems like they all start looking alike...   and that's not good.

 Doing different things allows me to use some of the button that my brother donated to AngelGowns,

 And I can use some bits and pieces of lace and ribbons that need to be used up.

 And every AngelGown outfit is special and unique....  just as every Angel is special and unique.

They are just precious !

   I work on Angel items an average of two full days each week. 
This includes working on the Angel items themselves and the administrative work
(attaching cards, packaging, organizing, PR, and postcards). 

I create the Angel items production-style, working on up to 10 at a time.

 

 I cut the gowns and caps from many, many wedding dresses. 

 As I cut, I attach a note with the name donator on each gown/cap.  

 

I pull a random batch from the pile of cut gowns and caps,

which allows me to use different donated dresses in each batch.

 

Working the gowns in this manner results in a good variety of AngelGowns and Caps

for each shipment to the birthing centers.  
 

 I then start rotating through the batch, doing the same step to each one:

 stitching, pressing, stitching, more pressing, more stitching, etc, etc. 
 

 

As I decorate, I also note the donator of the ribbons, etc.
on the note reflecting the donator's name. 

Often, the embellishments from a donated dress will show up
on a gown that that is created from someone else's dress fabric.
 

I included a tape measure in some of the photos for scale.

These are just a few more ready for their sentiment cards to be readied for shipping!  

Biker Brides for Babies

Suzy Yaffe, Scottsdale, AZ was touched by AngelGowns by jacki and organized a dress drive to benefit the Angels.  Most of her friends have a common interest so she decided to appropriately name her dress drive "Biker Brides for Babies". 

Suzy's Biker Brides were able to gather 17 amazing dresses for the Angels, with more still coming in. 

Take a peek at what comes from some very generous hearts....
