Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

The English Charm Company make bespoke handmade silver keepsake jewellery and gifts for you to cherish.

What could be more precious than a baby’s or child’s fingerprint, handprint, footprint or even a special drawing or handwriting, on your very own piece of handcrafted 99.9% pure solid silver charm. These baby/child keepsakes are something to treasure forever.

I can also create an ever lasting memory of your much loved pet with their miniaturised paw prints.  Why not give your husband or wife something personal from you, your fingerprints on a charm and a special message.

I have a range of necklaces and bracelets to finish off your perfect gift including men’s gifts and Pandora style jewellery.

All of my products are handmade in my workshop. I take time over every ittle detail from taking prints and capturing drawings, to crafting the silver and polishing them to perfection.

Important to the finishing touch is the packaging of your gift, which comes in a beautiful magnetic clasp gift box with a certificate showing the original artwork used, care instructions and a polishing cloth.

Multiple prints can be included at no extra charge. Different combinations of designs can be accommodated including adding gem stones for an extra bit of sparkle. Many different shapes and style of charms are available to choose from

Don’t worry if you are not able to make an appointment. You can request a  fingerprint, handprint or footprint kit to do in the comfort of your home. It is very easy to do, safe and not at all messy.

For children’s doodles, you simply need to email a scanned copy of your child’s picture they have drawn.

I am located in the North Hampshire Downs’ covering Basingstoke, Winchester, Newbury, Alresford and surrounding villages for appointments.

Finished jewellery is usually ready within 2 weeks.

I am trained by the Craft Ecademy and a member of The Keepsake Guild.

I will be taking prints at :

  • Upton Grey Village Hall Toddler Group Christmas Fayre on Wed 3rd Dec, at 10am -11.30 am
  • The Overton Primary School Christmas Fayre on Thurs 4th Dec 6-8pm
  • North Waltham Primary School Christmas Fayre Fri 5th Dec 3.15 – 5.30pm

Sew the Seams

Sew the Seams

Sew the seams is made up of three crafty mums who all have different areas of design.

Between us we create handmade felt and fabric items for your children.

This includes cushions, blankets, playmats, mobiles, dribble bibs and sensory tag blankets.

All of the items are made to order and can be personalised to suit your individual needs, you can choose fabrics, colours and themes.

I am Chloe and have a 12 week old son. I learnt to sew at school and have always been very creative.

I made lots of items for my son’s nursery whilst pregnant and friends and family commented I should sell similar items.

I started Sew the seams whilst on maternity leave to sell individual handmade items to offer a bespoke feel to your children’s nurseries and bedrooms.

Rhi learnt to sew from her mum and creates items such as dummy clips personalised with your childs name aswell as dribble bibs.

Rhi has a 6 month old daughter and has filled her nursery with beautiful handmade items.

Bunting, cot pockets and blankets all made by Rhi surround her daughter and now you too can buy these amazing products.

Charlene is mum to an eleven year old daughter and has always enjoyed making items for their home.

Charlene makes handmade rugs, fairylight garlands and personalised Christmas decorations.

With the items being made to order you can request even the most unusual names to be created into a bespoke decoration for your tree.

Pop over to our Facebook page www.Facebook.com/sewtheseams to take a look at the full range of items avaliable.

We are always happy to help and create the items you wish to see in your home so please do not hesitate to contact us.

Thank you!
