We hit 10k followers over on Instagram and am so excited to bring you along the Sketch & Stitch personalised journey.
In 2020 I started Sketch & Stitch during lockdown working out of my parents’ garage. An idea to keep my creative hands busy during lockdown after finishing my Fashion & Textile degree at the London College of Fashion has turned into my dream job.
I absolutely love personalising all your orders brining your creative visions to life.
Each order is stitched in our UK studio and is made to order.
Our best-selling photo outline hoodies went viral over Christmas 2022.
Fast forward to 2024 we now have three machines stitching out all your orders and new collections dropping every gifting season with new designs created in house.
After studying photography at A-Level I became obsessed with capturing a moment with a still life image and how one photo can have lots of different messages.
As a child I would sit hours going through family photo albums from my grandmas black and white film photos to now our digital iphone selfies, this was the start of our photo outline hoodies.
I wanted to create a new take on photo products creating items that can be cherished and loved for a lifetime the same way a photo framed and sat proudly on mantelpieces. With a unique and abstract line drawing approach the photo outline hoodie was born, translating my customers favourite photos into embroidery.
Starting a business during lockdown was exciting but difficult.
Family and friends were getting tired of pyjama days wearing the same items on repeat.
I set out to offer a wide range of comfortable clothing that could be customised with colourful text or photos. It was important that customers were involved with the personalisation process ensuring I created items that they would cherish and look forward to wearing during the gloom of lockdown.
Soon after Sketch & Stitch became the one stop shop for all personalised gifts, people were not able to celebrate events in person so our personalised gifts became the thoughtful unique option to send their loved ones.
We can’t wait to show you what we have been working on for Christmas with lots of new products and designs coming soon.
Thank you to all our amazing customers and followers for supporting my small business.
