How it Works
Inquiry & Concept
You reach out with an idea, inspiration, a moment, something you want to hold onto. We talk it through, and I develop the visual direction until it’s exactly right.
Sample & Approval
You see the first piece before anything moves forward. We refine it together until it’s right.
Production & Delivery
Once approved, I bring your full order to life and ship it ready to use or give, and love!
Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I reach out?
For weddings, reach out at least 8 to 10 weeks before your date so there’s room for concept development, a sample, and production without rushing.
For smaller keepsakes and custom pieces, 3 to 4 weeks is usually plenty. Once a concept is approved, most orders are completed within 2 to 3 weeks depending on size.
What does this cost?Every piece is priced around scope and detail, but here’s a general sense of where things start. Custom keepsakes and small pieces start around $65. Wedding collections, since they usually involve multiple pieces and motifs, start around $450. House portraits and larger heirloom commissions are priced individually based on complexity.
Can I get something rushed?Given the volume of custom work I take on, rush orders are limited and considered case by case. If you’re on a tight timeline, reach out and I’ll let you know honestly whether it’s possible.
Do you work from photos or things I already have?Yes, always. House portraits start from a photo of your home, and family heirloom pieces often start from an existing item, a swatch, an old photograph, something with meaning already attached to it. That’s usually where the best concepts come from.
Can you match my colors or details?Yes, that’s exactly what the concept phase is for. Send over your wedding palette, a fabric swatch, a paint chip, anything that captures the feeling, and I’ll build the design around it.
How do I take care of my piece once I have it?Hand wash cold and lay flat to dry to protect the stitching. Avoid the dryer, avoid bleach, and store folded rather than hung when possible. Embroidery holds up beautifully for decades with a little care.
