Handy Crafts by Alexis Shillinglaw

My goodness Alexis goes above and beyond! She made a jacket for my mother of the bride outfit - and that was just the start of it. She made a bag, purse, facemask and decorated a fascinator she lent me to match! Her creative input was so much appreciated and the extra time and effort she puts in to get it right for you is incredible. I felt a million dollars - thank you Alexis ️

Alexis has done 2 big jobs for me. Making new covers for my rattan cushions using the beige and orange Aztec fabric in the photos. Also 8 complete sun lounger cover replacements (much better design than the original as the new covers come off in 1 go with zips all down one side for easy removal.) They look amazing. Loved the attention to detail. All edged inside so no stringy bits to get stuck in the zips. All pattern matched so they sit well side by side. We were able to communicate well via Facebook so I was kept updated with progress. Great service. Thank you Alexis

Alexis did a wonderful job adjusting the hemlines on 2 dresses for me. Her stitching is very neat and she took great care to get the exact results I wanted. She has a wide range of skills, from jewellery making to upholstery and awnings and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a professional service at a reasonable price.

Alexis is a very talented young lady, who previously owned a shop in Scotland, her attention to detail is amazing.

I would not hesitate in recommending Alexis for her continued hard work and attention to detail.

Keep up the good work and it’s an absolute pleasure to have been a customer and will be a returning customer should I need your services again.

“Thank You”
