Thelma & Lola sewn with love

Thelma & Lola sewn with love Custom ladies & children’s coats and vests from upcycled woollen blankets. All lovingly handmade by me, Jen in Grindelwald, Tasmania 🇦🇺

Why the name I have been asked. The name is very personal to me. Thelma & Lola were my Nan and my Grandma, who had major involvement in my growing up years. They both loved me unconditionally when I needed it the most. Grandma (Lola) taught me to sew on her treadle, an interest which grew over the years into a passion. Nan (Thelma) was always there with tons of love, knowledge & advice. Sewn with

love - My love language is Quality Time. As I put my Quality Time into each item I sew, I am putting my love into it.

Beautiful baby gift

My previous adult coat customer decided this beautiful vest was the ideal baby birth gift.

- fully lined, pure wool upcycled blanket
- size 1 ( to start wearing next winter & probably get 2-3 yrs from it)
- Dropped back to keep lower back & bottoms warm
- Lined hood
- Flutter sleeves, so pretty for little girls

When I sew, to me an iron has almost the same amount of importance as a sewing machine.

Late last week my iron died. I cut out & sewed as much as i could without ironing, but ended up with a pile to finish & on a time limit.

Since my new k’Archer iron arrived, its been full steam ahead. Its been a big week.

Here is a small jacket sample with individual photos to follow during the week.

My coats are made with love. They aren’t rushed & churned out. While I am sewing I constantly have it in my mind the person I am making it for. I am invested in their vision 💛💛

From the coat hanger to coming alive on Jacinta. She tells me she is enjoying her new coat 💛

Earlier this year I donated a coat for the Launceston birth centre fundraiser.
Imagine my surprise to be sent this photo of this most gorgeous little dolly Grace who is interstate, whose Aunty gifted her the coat for her birthday.
Now Mum has just placed a further order.
The garments do look so much better on live models but Ive shown on & off model for context.

A very special gift & it brings joy to my heart that the coat I made is so loved 💛
