Commissions that meant something

The stories behind the stitches.

The rocking horse

A client wanted her late mother's saddle adapted for a restored rocking horse. Kate sourced miniature buckles, a bit and stirrups, and made the bridle to measure.

A matching hand-stitched collar and lead

A collar to remember

After a much-loved dog passed away, Kate turned his collar into two friendship bracelets and a key ring for the family.

Twenty inches of sparkle

Big horses struggle to find tack that fits. Every browband is made to order, so when a client with a very big horse asked, Kate simply made one 20 inches long.
