Testimonial
“5 stars – A beautiful, heartfelt service”
Tara from Fabric Sewn Beautiful came to our home to help create a memory pillow with my mum, who has dementia. She was incredibly patient, gently answering Mum’s repeated questions and even played music from Mum’s era (she’s 83) to help her feel calm and engaged. The pillow is stunning, but it was the experience Tara created that really touched our hearts. Compassionate, professional, and truly thoughtful.
Highly recommend..”
