In recent months we have designed and embroidered bespoke patterns on handkerchiefs that included playing cards, skull and crossbones, and the following:
Moth on Flannel Handkerchief
Music Notes on Lawn Handkerchief
Cucumber on Flannel Handkerchief
However we realized that not everyone wants designs on handkerchiefs.
Below are a few "patches" that you could use to decorate cushion covers, shopping bags, aprons, etc or be made into pockets to personalize something you already own. They have been embroidered onto organic cotton fabric measuring at least 28cm x 28cm, large enough to become one panel of a homemade tote bag. Click on the picture to take you to the relevant page.
Here we have made antimacassars (otherwise known as "chairbacks" to protect sofas and chairs from getting greasy marks and finger prints), one designed for "Mum", and a set of four for a house where musicians gather.
Do get in touch with us to see if there is a design (either existing or one you wish us to digitize from scratch) that we could put on our organic cotton fabric for you.
Our charges are very reasonable.
Text only: £0.50 per 1000 stitches run
If a picture is required: £1.00 per 1000 stitches run.
The cost of the fabric (sourced from Bishopston Trading / KV Kuppam) will depend on the size required. You will need enough allowance to either hem or iron this in place with the sticky web tape easily available at haberdashers.
