All custom embroidery is either hand-embroidered or created using a vintage Singer 20U zig-zag sewing machine from the 1960s, worked freehand using a satin stitch embroidery technique. This allows for expressive, organic designs — each piece is completely unique.

You’re welcome to bring along your own garments or textiles — jackets, shirts, denim, workwear, tote bags and more. Vintage and pre-loved pieces work especially well. If you’re unsure whether something is suitable, just ask.

Lead time is usually 3–5 weeks, depending on the size and complexity of the design and current workload. If you have a specific deadline in mind, always get in touch — we can discuss timings and make a plan where possible.
