Custom Wedding Garter

35


35 per hour - - Posted Nov 11, 2016

Are you looking for something more special than a standard off-the-shelf wedding garter for your special day? I bring 23 years of sewing and knitting experience to the table and a keen eye for design to help you realize your vision. From classic and elegant to totally off-the-wall, I want to help make your day special.

My knit lacework often comes from patterns translated from early 19th century patterns. I have sourced many of these patterns from knitting archives, translating them from older instructions to modern knitting patterns to bring history to life.

I also bring experience in high end embroidery and bead work, and will use my skills to make you something truly spectacular.

I strongly advise you to plan ahead - creating a garter can be incredibly time consuming, so it's best to give me plenty of advance notice!

Training & Qualifications


I have 23 years experience in sewing and knitting, embroidery and bead work. I have made various garters for a number of brides with a number of different visions and styles, and am completely ready and willing to work with you.

Availability & Preferences


I am typically available in the evenings, which is when I do the majority of my work. I am also available during the day Monday and Wednesday, so you may find I answer messages more quickly on these days.

Trading Preference: I’m flexible, just hit me up!

Erin was amazing and talked with me every step of the way! Sent me the tracking number for the package and pictures of the skin lion before sending! S...he even made more than one to try to get it perfect even though I didn't ask her to and loved the first one she showed me just as much. The lion is very durable and very adorable and I know my baby cousin is going to love it!show more

About Erin Kempfert

I am currently a stay-at-home mom, with experience in business management, gym management, art and design, theatre performance, set design and construction, and just general hijinx and tom-foolery. ... I have 23 years of knitting and sewing experience, including drafting my own patterns, particularly for soft sculptures and toys. I believe handmade items have their own indescribable charm, especially those of high quality. I strive to make everything I produce the best thing I've ever made, and will only turn out products that I feel truly meet my standards of quality. As well as knitting and sewing, I also have experience in hand embroidery and high end bead work. show more
