 About
Me: My name is
Laura. I am a long time Christian, who has been blessed to be married 27 years to my high
school sweetheart, and have three wonderful daughters who have all been a great
source of support in this business venture. I have been a stay-at-home mom, and home-schooled our daughters for ten years while I ran my business after their needs were met each day. I now have two daughters in college with out youngest now in public school, with all three doing quite well with their studies. I am personally venturing into the medical field,
as I continue to run my business part-time.
Many people confuse my business name as my own, when in fact it is derived from all our names. Davina is the feminine version of David, which is my husbands name, with our middle daughter having Davina as her middle name, taking her daddy's name as part of her own. Our oldest daughter and I share the same middle
name of Dawn. My husband and I have always loved the name Davina Dawn, after naming our daughters, and held it as a special name to be used in the future. Our youngest daughter was not born when the name came into being, yet the name means "Beloved Morning", which our youngest was born on a beautiful, beloved Sunday morning.
I have been sewing for over 30
years, making clothing for myself and family, home decorations, doll clothing, quilts,
alterations, etc. I started making doll clothing upon the request of our middle
daughter when she was younger. With the encouragement and request of family and
friends, I started making doll clothing for the popular play dolls, and expanded
quickly to custom doll clothing for those looking for replica clothing for their
vintage dolls. Early on, the request came for miniature wedding dress
replica's, which have become a popular request. The miniature wedding dress
replica's, along with any other special orders, are made using photo's provided
by the customer. Personal attention is given to the details that each dress or
outfit requires, and generally patterns have to be drafted, as most custom
orders are unique to the individual requests that come in. I enjoy providing a
service, to those in search of a custom seamstress, who enjoys the challenge
of creating the special requests.
The products provided through Davina Dawn Sewing Specialties, from doll clothing, infant items through home decoration are all personally hand-sewn by myself (unless otherwise noted in the product description), with attention to detail and quality workmanship. One cannot compare custom work or independently sewn items to
what you might find at your local department stores, so you will not find that I am competitive in price, but you will find that you will receive a professionally crafted product.
I continue to take on custom
orders, provide alterations, and continue to sew other items to have on hand for the
web-site. I look forward to being able to serve you.
