about me
Fascinated by fabrics, patterns & memories, inspired by nature & art, driven by creativity, I was using a sewing machine by the age of four. My grandfather was a professional tailor and his workshop was my playground, the antique Singer sewing machine - my favorite toy. My name is Laura, I am the creator of the Blue Sky Bubble atelier.
In 2000's I worked on countless prototypes, collections, and productions for fashion designers & fashion academy students in Antwerp, Belgium. People said I had golden hands and asked for my help.
Upcycling came along as the answer to my effort to consume less and be more creative and my atelier was born.
my promise
I help to declutter your closet and mind by clearing out the old and making room for the new. Trusting me to create a keepsake from your clothes is more than buying a thing. It is a way of letting go. Clothes will not be clothes any more but fragments, colors, textures, tiny details that trigger a feeling, an emotion, a memory. Clothes will join your daily life in a different form, but the emotions hidden in them will linger. Take your time: you need to be ready to let go, transform & move on. This is neither an instant gratification project nor an impulse buy.
I create each item with my full attention to the person & their story. I focus on and enjoy the excellence of the craft. "Your finished product is exquisite" a client remarked once and it became my mantra, my promise and my mission.
the atelier
I donated most of my kids clothes, but kept some. I took the most precious, special clothes & hid them away in a plastic bag in the attic. That seemed like such a shame... I made my first memory quilt and Blue Sky Bubble atelier was born in 2014.
Fast forward to today, I have crafted over 200 memory quilts, memory cushions and fabric paintings and have wonderful clients all over the world.
My keepsakes celebrate motherhood and the miracle of babies. And then there are those that mourn the loss of a loved one and help heal. Both bring meaning to my clients: these keepsakes mark a significant era in one's life.
my keepsakes
For me, a typical memory or t-shirt quilt was not enough. I set out to create a crisp, modern, interesting quilt that would also be practical. I did not like the idea of applying stabilizing sprays to preserve the clothes since I try to avoid using unnecessary chemicals. Instead, to make the clothes last as long as possible, I decided not to quilt through them. I added a calm background & bright highlights to accentuate the unique character of the clothing, while using the patterns in my quilts to showcase the clothes as a whole.
Memory cushions came along as the adorable little quilt's siblings. It was important for me to maintain the crisp, modern feel and perfect the color play as well as the construction.
Fabric paintings are my old passion. As a child I used to create fabric paintings and it felt like a perfect addition to my keepsakes family.
