Custom Chainstitch Embroidery

All of my handcrafted embroidered patches are able to be stitched or ironed onto whatever your heart desires, but I also offer customized direct to garment embroidery and custom patches.  Be it a memorialization of a special occasion or just a crazy concept you've always wanted, I can make it happen!

First, tell me about your concept, idea, dream. Submitting the form below will send that information to me.

Second, we agree on a general budget, solidify our understanding of the concept, and establish a timeline.  We'll do this over email. I'll invoice you for 50% of the work, which includes two sets of reviews & edits to ensure you love the art before it gets stitched onto your garment of choice.

Third, we get the garment!  You can either send me your piece in the mail, or I can recommend what to buy.  100% cotton is the preferred material of choice.  Anything that has even a hint of elastic typically doesn't stitch well.

Lastly, I get to work.  And that is my FAVORITE PART!  I'm an executor, and a craft addict...once I sit down and put thread to fabric I can't be stopped.
