When I make the collars and cut the fabrics, I always ensure to waste as little as possible. I keep the off cuts which can be used for other products and I have been keeping the smaller pieces in a fabric bag with the thought that one day I could find a purpose for them.
I probably said this before but selling your products online, as fantastic as it is in the sense that you can reach people all over the world, can be a little frustrating as you never get to see your customers, their reaction when they receive their order, how they feel…so when a customer sends you a letter (considering that today so few people write by post) to say ‘thank you’ it is the most satisfying feeling you can get.
Today, the lovely Noelle from France sent me this letter with photos of the collar she had made with our collar sewing kit along with photos of a little pouch she had sewn with the fabric that were left over. It is fantastic to see how creative people can get and that one of my products generated a moment of happiness into their lives. Merci!

When Lucille contacted me a few months ago I was enchanted to discover her beautiful illustrations. She had seen some of the CLAUDINE & COMPAGNIE collars on Pinterest and thought it would be great to collaborate together somehow. I loved the idea - When you work on your own it can be so refreshing to bounce ideas with someone else.
