Having clothing embroidered: easier than you think
Have a name, photo or drawing embroidered on your own sweater, starting from just one item. Find out what’s possible, what it costs and how it works in four steps.
An embroidered name, a drawing of your child or your dog on your sweater: it sounds like custom work for large orders. With us it's possible from a single piece, and it's simpler than you think.
Short answer: Yes, you can have clothing embroidered from 1 piece. Send a photo, a name or a drawing. Louise turns it into a design, Julie embroiders it on what you wear. A sweater with text costs from €49.95 and you'll have it within 1 to 3 weeks on average.
Can you have a single piece embroidered?
Yes. Many embroidery studios only work with larger quantities, because making an embroidery file takes a lot of time. With us you can simply order one sweater, for yourself or as a gift.
Embroidery also lasts a long time. The threads go right through the fabric, there's nothing that can peel or crack. Your embroidery lasts as long as your sweater.

Embroidery or print?
Embroidery is ideal for names, text, line drawings and logos. It feels richer and lasts the longest. For large designs with lots of colours or soft colour gradients, printing may be a better fit.
