For all our photo products the best photos to upload are close up images showing the clear detail. The clearer and higher quality the photo the more detail will be included in the outline design.

Show off your pets personality with a head shot or full image photo.

Our portrait outline options only include the pets head/ half body (cropped images) no full length images are included. If you would like the full length image included please check out our photo outline option where the design is placed larger on the centre.

If you would like more than one pet stitched out on your order simply upload a collage of the two photos or send us the second photo after checkout.

Contrasting colours work best allowing all the detail in the design work to stand out bold and clear. We recomend if you have selected a light colour garment, please select a darker thread/stitch colour. If you have selected a dark colour garment, please select a light colour thread.

We have a large library of photographs showing you different colour combinations. You can also check out our Instagram for more inspiration @sketchandstitch_embroidery.

Embroidery is the process we use to personalise all our orders.

All the embroidery designs are built up of individual stitches using needle and thread. You can select your favourite thread colour for the designs to be stitched out in.

The bonus of embroidery stitching is that it does not peel or fade away. Unlike a printed item embroidery stitching becomes a natural part of the garment whereas printed designs sit onto of the surface of the material.

Design proof for outline and portrait orders...

Once you have placed your order online the design process will start. You will receive a design email from our studio showing you the hand drawn outline created from the photograph that was uploaded via our website.

The design will show you what it will approximately look like when it is stitched out. You will have the option to request any changes you would like made to the design before production starts to ensure it is perfect for you!

If we do not hear back from customers in 24 hours with any changes, we will process the garment as usual with the design as shown to avoid any production and delivery delays.

All of our sweatshirts and hoodies are made out of a heavy blend woven material with a soft fleece finish on the inside. The heavy blend material ensures that the garments are strong enough to hold the detail embroidery stitching. You can see the fabric combinations in each product description.

Heather grey refers to a soft, muted colour created by blending different tonal fibres into one yarn. This creates a salt and pepper style finish which is the seen on our light and dark grey products.  

All of our adult and kids products are unisex suitable for all genders.

All our Adult unisex sweatshirt and hoodies are a regular fit. We provide all mens chest to fit and UK women dress size approximate measurements so all our customers can size up or down to their desired size.

To ensure that your garments maintain the best quality over many washes please follow our care instructions.

For all kids t-shirts we recommend that they wear a vest underneath the garments to protect their skin against the back of the embroidery stitching as it can be slightly rough. 

Machine wash all products up to 30 degrees. When washing your items make sure you turn them inside out to protect the embroidery and garment. Upon completion of the washing cycle place the garments immediately into a dryer. Do not wring out the embroidered garments. Embroidered garments should always be ironed on the reverse side. We also recommend to iron embroidery between two pieces of cloth.
