Cummerbunds










I was watching the Westminster Dog Show on Monday night. One of the judges was wearing a needlepointed cummerbund. Unfortunately, since the cameras were focused on the dogs not the judge's attire, I couldn't make out what kind of dog it was.

Several years ago we designed a custom cummerbund for a customer whose brother owned Standard Poodles being shown at Westminster. It was quite whimsical with the poodles in various poses.
Recently, we have finished three cummerbunds.  It just makes me think what a great gift it is for someone who wears a tuxedo.
The one pictures is a custom cummerbund based on the logo of an Adirondack club.It was done for a formal event of the club but can certainly be worn for many other occasions.

 We have finished a delightful cummerbund with penguins against a geometric background. (We've actually had it finished twice!) 


Gretchen modified the canvas so her penguins are drinking martinis!
It's such a great gift for someone who wears a tuxedo.
