Embroidery Commissions

I’ve been asked recently if/when i will take commissions for embroidery pieces, and here’s what you need to know!

I am going to do a trial run and this will be of 3 commissions on 5″ hoops. All commissions will come with the hoop for easy display. All will be completely custom designs, which will be drawn digitally and tweaked before a stitch is sewn.

The base price is £10 - which covers the basic material costs and UK delivery (will deliver outside UK but price will vary) Colours, details and time will add to that price. First come, first serve basis. Payment must be made before commission is started.

Working on an 18th century “undress” costume - aka informal wear. The ensemble will consist of a jacket, skirt, mits, fichu, and a stomacher to tie it all together! 

I started with the stomacher, since I knew it would be the most time consuming part. I drew the design myself, then resized it and mirrored the pattern in photoshop. I traced the design onto interfacing, which was fused onto the back of a loosely woven polyester fabric I had in my stash. 

I used basting stitches to bring the design to the top side of the fabric, then embroidered it by hand. It was all outlined with a split stitch, then filled in with satin stitching. It’s my first embroidery project I’ve finished, and considering that I’m pretty proud! 

So I didn’t show any previous WIPS of this but, nearly done making a Sans hairclip
