# About me
We now accept International orders on our Etsy Store ! . . . fancytogs.etsy.com
We're a family business in the UK doing dressmaking and our own original embroideries.
Clare does the dressmaking and is a City and Guilds Tailor who can create clothes that fit properly.
Lawrence does the embroidery design with a head full of strange ideas. He also presses the wrong buttons on the camera and then messes about with the photos on the PC.
The kids help out by making tea, and the cat is purely ornamental.
Together we make things for people with imagination.
We produce our own:
- Art Wear :
Original Art Embroidery on Shirts - we machine embroider small batches of quality pre-made garments with our own unique designs, using novel techniques, our own artwork and our own hand crafted stitch design.
Bobby Dazzler Fabric Jewellery - our own design of embroidered silk jewellery. We make them from silk fabric, embroider them with our own designs and hand finish them.
- Sewing :
Made to Measure Clothes for Ladies, Gents & Children.
Alterations and Repairs.
Custom embroidered panels for other dressmakers.
- Irish Dance: we make, adjust and repair Irish Dance Costumes.
Our embroidery designs have a heavy Celtic influence, utilising spirals and keypatterns as well as the more familiar knotwork. We also take influences from historic and fantasy concepts so we have viking/norse designs with phoenix and dragons too. We like large bold designs with good use of colour, and have a clothing tattoo style. "We don't do Betty Boop!"
Our art wear embroideries are all durable for frequent wear. They do not fade or crack, are machine washable, they are soft draping (not stiff) and can be ironed, they stay looking good for years.
In addition to our international Etsy store we can do direct mail order in the UK. Just send us a DA note or email. For security, card payments only taken by phone. We can often be found trying to sell our creations from our stall at street markets, craft fairs, steam rallies, country shows, folk music festivals, and local community events around the northern end of Leicestershire.

Aaah A CONTACT who makes clothes, I have some fabric for making a hooded jacket, would u take that task on, over that there internet? What info would you need?

no problem, send us an email ( info@fancytogs.co.uk ) so we can talk more securely about stuff like your location, jacket style, prices and personal dimensions !

Yer can do that would a diagram of the type of jacket help the process along?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yep, that'd help, or a link to a photo of a jacket of the same style
also useful would be a description of the fabric (ie. fibre type, not so much the camo pattern!) and how much of it you've got (width and length, make sure you say which is which)
for now your chest measurement (measured, not taken from clothing) will help in pattern selection, we'd need more accurate measurements later. Include your address on the email (not on DeviantArt ! ) and we can post you a dressmaker's tape measure if you need it.
we've got full contact details (including phone number if you want to chat) on our website at fancytogs.co.uk
