UNIQUE SUPER HEROES !!!

I got a call from a client who wanted something she couldn't find anywhere, something so custom and unique, it would have to be created for her. She wanted to buy gifts for two 5 year old boys (Dov and Evan) who were seriously into superheroes. She did not just want to buy a premade costume, she wanted to create a costume incorporating each boy's name. We at first spoke about sewing up a shirt with a detachable cape. I told her it would be easier, smarter, and more cost effective to buy a shirt, and I would colour coordinate a cape. Then we thought that we would buy a pre-made pyjama, and go from there. I told her I would take care of getting the boys some pyjamas, a task I thought would be super easy. Turns out it was not! After we put our heads together, we decided to buy a shirt with a matching sweat pant and go from that point.

Once the outfits were bought, I went to my local fabric store to see what I could find to make a funky, fun cape. I found the perfect fabric. I decided to have Super Dov embroidered on one shirt, and Evan Man on the other. I thought having a 3 inch D on one cape and a 3 inch E on the other would be a great addition.
When everything came back embroidered, the items were nice, but missing some punch. I decided to get some fabric sparkle paint and embellish and enhance. I then looked at super hero pictures, and noticed they all had a head covering and wrist-guards or gloves. Being a sewer, off we went to the design and sewing room. At the end of the day, each boy had a shirt with a custom shield, a specialized cape, along with a hood of sorts and gloves. According to my client, there are now two extremely happy 5 year old boy superheroes on the loose. It is a bird......No it is a plane......no, it is something unique created by Stitched with love!

Special Custom Orders

A special package for a special baby!

A long-time client, let's call her Elly, wanted something she did not see on the website. So she called, and we brainstormed. Besides wanting something personalized in her gift, she wanted a super cozy, thick and unique blanket with a quilted feel to it. Knowing all of my fabrics in combination with the colours Elly wanted (green gingham), I suggest the patchwork gingham with an added layer between the top and bottom layers. The layers would be stitched throughout, giving this nice thick flannel blanket (with a polar fleece insert) a thick, warm and cozy feel. The blanket can be seen under the towel, bib and burp pad. It was shipped out, wrapped and ready (see picture on top). We hope Daniella is finding her custom package as special as it was unique to create it!!
