Custom Made Brag Book Walk-Through


If you have any questions during this process, please contact me at mardi_byrd@yahoo.com or Covo me on my Etsy Shop Page From Here 2 Daydreams


Step 1:   Pick out your outfit.  It can be any outfit that you love.  I can make almost any outfit into a Brag Book. 

What Outfits to Choose!?

I can work with knits, and cotton - some beaded material even - so the range of outfits is pretty open. Corduroy and Cotton are easiest - but we are not limited to those. Silks and slippery materials are a bit difficult - but can be manipulated.  I usually put these types of materials on the inside.

Although I can work with almost every outfit, some customers like to email me photos of the outfits they want to use to have me check them before mailing them out.  You may do this if you'd like, email your photos to me @ mardi_byrd@yahoo.com.

Also, I have had customers request the dimensions to work within.  Here are those dimensions:

2.5" x 3.5" ($20.00) Brag Books that hold Wallet Size Photos - Can be made from pockets and embellishments as big as 3.5 inches wide and 4.5 inches tall or 4.5 inches tall, and 3.5 inches wide.


4" x 6" ($24.90) Brag Books that hold 4 inches x 6 inches Size Photos - Can be made from pockets and embellishments as large as 7 inches wide and x 5 tall. 


Don't worry too much about dimensions, because I will adjust the size of the Brag Book to fit your embroidered decals or pockets properly.





I like to use "outfits," because outfits that come in pairs give me more contrasting materials to work with.
Please feel free to discuss with me the outfit you are picking out.  I'll work with you every step of the way.
Here are some example outfits that truned out to be fantastic Brag Books:


Example 1: 

Here we have an overall set made of Corduroy and a onsie that is gray with little pink hearts on it.  



Example 2:

One of my customers didn't have a favorite outfit that matched; instead she had some clothes that she really loved to see her daughter wear.  She was a little concerned that there wouldn't be enough contrast to go with the clothes.  Being the smart woman she is, she also sent some material she thought would go nice with the clothes she selected for her Brag Book. 


She was right - it turned out perfect! 




Step 2:  Once you have your clothes picked out, you simply mail them to me. 

I suggest you use a large, waterproof envelope.  You can send your outfit in a box if you like, but shipping is much cheaper in an envelope.

Step 3:  Answer some questions about the outfit that you chose to have your Brag Book made out of.

While I'm waiting for the package to arrive,( if I haven't done so already,) I'll ask you what you love most about the clothes you are sending.  This gives me a personal connection to you and the clothes you care about so much.  This allows me to add a heart-felt touch to your Brag Book.

That's it!
