Sentimental gifts and surprises are my favorite things to make. When Angela asked if I could make a wedding garter from her daughter-in-law’s late father’s shirts, I couldn’t wait to get started! One garter turned into 3 plus a teddy bear. Having a reason to write a personalized poem for the special day just added to my excitement!
A Little Piece of Heaven
A special gift for you
On your day of celebration
An addition to your wardrobe
To escort you from heaven
Encircled are my clothes
In your tailored wedding garter
To accompany your walk
Down the aisle in my honor
Dance in it with pride
In remembrance of my love
Know I’m with you on your day
Smiling on you from above

These little projects brought me so much joy imagining just what the bride would think when she saw them.
Angela was able to gift them to her daughter-in-law days before the wedding. She loved them! Score!!
