Meet the maker

Welcome to Amelie's House. I'm Natalie. I have recently rekindled my passion for sewing and I'm really enjoying challenging myself to create new items. My mum was a keen dressmaker and taught me how to use a sewing machine. After my first daughter was born I wanted some bunting with her name on it and decided to try making some myself... I haven't looked back. In between juggling a part time job, two daughters, home and husband I love to sew and find it rewarding and relaxing.
My recent project transpired when I was looking for a Santa Sack for my daughters first Christmas but could only find cheap varieties for sale that would only last one year or ones that were really small and not hold many presents. So I set about making one for her. After many great compliments I made a few for family and friends and this year made the decision to make more sacks to sell.
I chose to use designer fabrics by Cath Kidston and Tanya Whelan for their quality and style. I chose these specific designs as I feel they are classic enough that you will be happy to use the sack year after year and but also feel that they have a subtle Christmas-y feel. I hope you agree.
Each sack is handmade from scratch and can be personalised with a name on Santa's coat.

PLEASE NOTE, LAST DATE TO ORDER FOR CHRISTMAS DELIVERY IS FRIDAY 7TH DECEMBER

Thank you for visiting my shop and I hope you like my work. Listings will be posted by 21/09/2012

P.s. you may see from my 'Previous Items Sold' that I also make Personalised Fabric Door Signs for children. I am not listing them at the same time as the Santa sacks as unfortunately I only have time to concentrate on one project at a time. But if you see something of interest please feel free to contact me.
