Sprang sash gallery

Sprang has been used to create sashes for a long time. Since the time of national militaries and military uniforms, sprang was part of the officer's dress for many European countries. Carol has made sprang sashes according to several different styles.

If you are interested in placing an order for a special sash made for you, please contact Carol to discuss the details of your project.
In 2012 Carol was allowed a close-up viewing of the Braddock at George Washington's Mount Vernon, and, in return, created a replica. The replica sash will eventually be on display. In 2017, Carol made a scaled-down version of the same Braddock sash which is now on display at Carlyle House in Alexandria, Virginia.
