 Sometimes interesting things happen that I think the world should know about. One of our girls at the shop Romi, was asked to make these beautiful costumes for these horses . She had great fun choosing the fabrics here at The Sewing Shed in    Co Kerry

 The devil is Carolann O’sullivan and the white angel, is Jacqueline Higgins. They were competing in the Association of Irish Riding Club, The Festival, Fancy Dress Pairs Dressage.The pair looked amazing, the devil with his flames and the angel had quilted wings…of course as a quilter she had to get a little bit in some where.

W ell done to the girls and Romi for a stunning display. Of course they won!!!

From regular patchwork and quilting, dressmaking , alterations , sewing machine service, sales and repair (add horse dressage costumes to that list now ) we cater for it all , call us 0879924002 for information.
