Custom Orders

Request something special to be handmade by Roses Workshop

I love Custom Orders!

Whether it is knitting gloves a bit smaller, or a hat a bit bigger, making a tea cosy to fit an unusual shaped teapot, or a big pile of cushions in a tweed I've never used before, I am quite happy.

However, by their very nature these items take more time than a regular size or shape version. I may need to buy in materials that I don't hold in stock. Also I may need to finish what I am working on before I can make a start on the custom item.

Like the proverbial buses, I may have no custom order enquiries for ages, then suddenly several come along at once. It's not that your item will take three weeks to make - it may take just one day, but in three weeks time when I have a slot available. If you have a special deadline like a wedding or birthday date, please contact me well in advance so I can fit you in.

Summer Craft Fairs

I am away from the Workshop for long periods this summer, so "Made to Order" and "Custom Order" services are suspended from 23rd August until 9th September.

Christmas starts in October!

It starts when the kids go back to school after the October half-term break, and by November I start to run out of available slots. I am often overwhelmed by custom orders in early December, all wanted as Christmas presents, and have to start turning people away. I hate to do this. I love that you all like my work so much that you want a special version for a special person. But I don't have any magical elves to help me, and I really do have to sleep occasionally!

Please, please order early for Christmas.
