A full custom tailoring service for those who have kept sentimental fabrics for their symbolic value and would like to enjoy them again.
I am Marie Alhomme, the textile artist behind “Cousettes Fantastiques, Créations d'exception”, and my role is to help you elevate the memories that your favorite fabrics carry.
I want to guide you through giving a second life to these fabrics charged with emotions, and transform them through sewing into something useful and beautiful, created entirely to measure for you.
This way, you can fully enjoy the memories they contain once again.
A brief overview of how a custom order takes place.
You have fabrics that hold meaning for you, or you've seen some in my stock that appeal to you. You send me a message to describe your project: desires, needs, ideas, deadlines, budget... everything that seems important to convey to me initially.
You can do this via the contact form on this page, directly by email at , via private message with the widget at the bottom right on this page or on my Facebook page.
We take some time (over the phone or chat) to explore the parameters of your project in more detail. Fabrics, dimensions, patterns... are discussed, in order to have a clear and precise picture of your custom creation.
With all this information, I make you a formal and detailed proposal: I send you a complete PDF quote that summarizes all the parameters of your project.
We modify it until you are satisfied.
Once the 40% deposit is paid, the reservation of your slot is confirmed and I purchase the necessary materials/hardware, if applicable.
When the time of your slot arrives, you pay the 30% interim payment and I start making your project.
Throughout the process, and unless otherwise instructed, I send you photos or videos of my progress. If I have any questions or choices to offer you, I don't hesitate to contact you, and of course, I remain available if you have any questions too :)
Your project is finished!
Once the balance is settled, I print the shipping label according to the agreed shipping method, carefully package your order, and send it to you.
Just a little more patience and soon you'll be able to discover it!
You have entrusted me with your precious textiles, witnesses of your lives, and together we have celebrated their memory.
