Custom order - Bride and Groom chicken

These guys are so cute! I had free reign on what they looked like as long as they were pincushion sized and looked like a bride and groom.

You may kiss the bride!

I had fun sorting through my lace to make the bride's dress.  I also have some gorgeous cream lace with seed beads and embroidery on which would work well as a dress.

The groom was tricky to make and involves quite a few steps but I now have pattern pieces so I can make more if anyone else wants a unique wedding gift :)

The photos were taken in front of my sewing machine just so that I could show my customer the chickens quickly before the end of the day - any future photo shoots would be better :)
