EMBROIDERED NAMES?
YES! YES! YES!
Right now my fonts are limited in style but I will be happy to place your child's name on an item for you. Please Note: please email me before ordering something you want embroidered. Sometimes the machine doesnt like to do it job, and I hate for people to wait while it gets fixed.
What is this PayPal thing for paying?
www.paypal.com is the easy, safe way to pay me. I also use it for shipping to you. You can use your credit card there and know that you are safe. You also can "e-check" me for payment (items dont ship until the check clears, and please let me know by email that you are ordering, as my site only notices CC payments and I will manually take the item or set out of my inventory)
Millions of online sites take paypal for payment. Its fast and free to sign up. I do not shop the web any other way.
Shipping & Charges
THERE IS NO CHARGE!
Custom sets that are sewn to order will ship as soon as they are finished ( generally 2 weeks). Items that just need a name on them, ship out within 24 hours.
Live near me in Gaylesville AL?
Email me before ordering, that way I can deliver or you can pick up without shipping charges.
What measurments are needed for a custom made set?
Generally it depends on the set. I will need waist, and inseam, and shoulder to knee for all sets. I keep the numbers for 6 months so you can order again. After 6 months I need new numbers as these kids grow so fast.
I saw some fabric that I love, can you make me something for my girl if I buy it and send it to you?
Sure, just send me an email and let me know when you are shipping it (so I can keep an eye out for it) and of course what you want made from it. I recommend placing the fabric in a ziplock bag first, then whatever you want to mail it in.
I see a dress set I really like but it's not the right size, can you make another?
It never hurts to email and ask me about a certain set. I am going to try and really limit the amount that I make in ready to wear. Its not so special if everyone has one. But if I have enough fabric for your child's size, I will.
OR if it's just the style you like I would be happy to make it in another fabric for you.
What if the set does not fit?
Most sets will state a general size, like 4-6. This means it will be a bit big on a size 4, but she is going to be able to wear it until she outgrows it as a 6. The difference in sizes is VERY minimal. In most cases its just in the length. Thats why I love RUFFLES! They can cover a shoe on a size 4 but when the child is 6 they look just as cute laying by an ankle. If you have a real issue with how the set fits, please email me and I will do all I can to make you happy.
What about washing and drying?
I HATE thing that need to be washed in a special way. I am a "throw them all in & wash" kinda mom. So, that being said, I suggest you wash them in cold water and hang dry.....only because it says you money on your electric bill. Some things will need a touch up with an iron.
Why are your things cheaper than other sites?
My items are sewn with love, care and thought. They are also sewn with professional seams and edges. I do order fabrics and trims wholesale which does give me an edge cost wise. Plus, since I have wonderful customers like you, I get to stay at home and sew all day. Since this is my full time job I treat it as such. I also know how much time it took to make the set and how much the fabric cost. I want you to come back and shop with me, so I price them so you are able to come back.
I found a set on another site but it was over $100.00, can you copy it?
As much as designers hate it, Yes, I can! Unless of course the design is copyrighted. Send me a link and let me take a look.
Who are the kids in the pictures?
Some are my kid, and some are her BBF. Some are from customers who got their sets and send me pictures to use becuase they loved the set. Feel free to send me pictures, I might just use them.
I was on this site last week and saw a set I liked, now it's gone, where did it go?
Sorry, it must have sold. Tell me what it looked like and I will see what I can do. Most everything is limited. I want to see you come back each week and see the new stuff I made and no get bored with seeing the same thing everytime you come here.
WHO ARE YOU?
My name is Madeleine, and I am your child's seamstress.
I live in Gaylesville Alabama. I have a SUPER GREAT hubby who I love and one princess who thinks she rules the world.
I got my love of sewing from my parents who both sew. I got my first machine when I was 5 years old and been sewing since. I was a seamstress for LaFrance before moving to Alabama. I adore little girls and love to dress them up. I will be adding boys stuff this summer. And of course I will be adding new things all the time.
